Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and intrathoracic neuroblastoma

Pediatr Dermatol. 2007 May-Jun;24(3):267-71. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.2007.00400.x.

Abstract

We report a 6-year-old girl with a subtle form of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and a phenotype consisting of curly hair, a round face, a stocky build, and obesity, which was associated with intrathoracic neuroblastoma. Although this new association could be a chance occurrence, its description may alert physicians to look for similar combinations and report these, as it may lead to better syndrome delineation, and patient care.
