Pediatr Dermatol. 2016 Nov;33(6):e351-e352. doi: 10.1111/pde.12969. Epub 2016 Sep 7.

Abstract

We report a case of transient neonatal cutis laxa and hypertrichosis lanuginosa as an initial presentation in Sotos syndrome. Little is known about skin involvement in Sotos syndrome. Our observation highlights that Sotos syndrome is a rare cause of cutis laxa and suggests that it is a useful neonatal skin clue to the diagnosis of overgrowth syndromes.
