Scattered, 2∼3 mm sized, erythematous scaly pustules and a firm nodule on the face. c.994_995delCA mutation in a 19-year-old Iranian female patient. Interestingly, that patient had no mucosal involvement except dental plaques. This may imply an association between the mutation and mucosal-sparing features.

However, only two cases including ours have been reported to date and our patient might be too young to have developed mucosal lesions. Further studies are needed to clarify this association.
