title: [Multiple lentiginosis and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy].
abstract: Two patients with Multiple Lentiginosis (ML) had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with severe obstruction of the right and left ventricular outflow tracts. ML is a rare syndrome in which there is a typical skin pigmentation disorder together with various other abnormalities like slight mental retardation, sensorineural deafness, genital and skeletal anomalies and sometimes a characteristic facies. Obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract is frequent in such patients. The association of ML and obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has been recently reported. A critical examination of the literature in addition to our clinical observations suggests that the biventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may play a major role in the clinical feature of ML syndrome.
