Most common anomalies associated with Poland's syndrome are in the chest wall. This type of anomaly causes important psychological distress, especially in adolescent girls. A 19-year-old female with Poland's syndrome having psoriatic plaques on her trunk, knees, and elbows is reported in this paper. Such an association of Poland's syndrome with psoriasis has not been described previously.
The cutaneous lesions and findings related to the central nervous system are frequently seen concomitantly in many patients. Neurocutaneous syndromes are the most typical examples supporting this observation. The prevalences of hypopigmented maculae and café-au-lait spots were investigated in 210 idiopathic epileptic children between the ages of 2 and 17 years and 2754 healthy children between the ages of 5 and 15 years. In the group of epileptic children, hypopigmented maculae and café-au-lait spots were observed in 30 (14.3%) and 63 (30%) children, respectively. In the group of healthy children, the prevalence of hypopigmented maculae was 1.6% (44 children) and of café-au-lait spots was 2.83% (78 children). The difference between the two groups was very significant statistically (P < .0001).
A 30-year-old female with mammarial hypotrophy was diagnosed with non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NBCIE) with dermatologic evaluation. Her mammarial hypotrophy and ptosis was corrected with a breast implant. Although there is a tendency to skin infections and increased skin fragility in the ichthyotic patients, breast augmentation with silicone prosthesis is well-tolerated by the patient.
