Focal dermal hypoplasia or Goltz syndrome is a rare genodermatosis involving all three embryonic layers. Herein, the first case of this syndrome from Iran will be reported. The main clinical features were fat herniation, reticulate pigmentations, telangiectasia, and skeletal defects.

Goltz syndrome or focal dermal hypoplasia is a rare syndrome with mesoectodermal hypoplasia. This syndrome is an X-linked dominant disorder with involvement of the cutaneous, ocular, dental and skeletal systems. The most significant feature of this disease is connective tissue dysplasia. Here, we report a 30-year old woman who presented with congenital unilateral linear atrophic areas on her tr...

Attention was drawn by Goltz, Peterson, Gorlin, and Ravits (1962) to a rare syndrome of multiple congenital defects affecting tissues of both mesodermal and ectodermal origin. The universal feature of their three initial cases was the skin abnormality, which consisted of areas of extremely thin or absent dermis, frequently with localized herniations of subcutaneous fat into the epidermis appear...
