Epstein syndrome: oral lesions in a patient with nephropathy, deafness and thrombocytopenia.
Epstein syndrome is a rare dominantly inherited disorder in which the main features are nephritis, deafness and macrothrombocytopathic thrombocytopenia. A case with oral haemorrhage and purpuric lesions is reported. This appears to be the first report of this syndrome in the dental literature.
