Dubowitz syndrome with keloidal lesions.
The case of a 7-year-old boy affected by Dubowitz syndrome is described. The characteristic features of the syndrome--intrauterine growth retardation, low neonatal weight, short stature, characteristic facies, atopic dermatitis and mental retardation--are discussed with reference to the absence of microcephaly and the presence of spontaneous keloids.
