Abstract

We report a case of focal dermal hypoplasia associated with ichthyosis in an 18-year-old Korean female. The patient showed a yellowish atrophic patch on the left side of her abdomen, abnormal skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy and ichthyosis since birth.We could also find skeletal and dental deformities.
The biopsy specimen obtained from the yellowish atrophic patch showed marked attenuation of collagen fibers and ectopic fatty tissue nearly reaching up to the upper dermis.

Keywords: Focal dermal hypoplasia, Ichthyosis
