title: [Goltz-Gorlin syndrome in a male].
abstract: Poikilodermal abnormalities with a linear or reticular distribution pattern and associated with other ectodermal and mesodermal disorders are characteristic features of Goltz-Gorlin syndrome (focal dermal hypoplasia), which is found mainly in females. In the light of recent literature a report is given about clinical aspects, histology, differential diagnosis, etiology, and especially the genetics of Goltz-Gorlin syndrome. Because of its rare incidence in males, a case of Goltz-Gorlin syndrome in a 21-year-old man is presented.
