title: Laryngo-onycho-cutaneous syndrome associated with familial benign hypercalcemia.
abstract: A Pakistani boy had chronic ulceration of the cheeks, generalized nail dystrophy, ulceration and hypergranulation of the nail beds, conjunctiva, and vocal cords, and dental enamel hypoplasia. These features are consistent with laryngo-onycho-cutaneous (LOCS) syndrome or Laryngeal and Ocular Granulation tissue in children from the Indian subContinent (LOGIC) syndrome. Both he and his elder brother had elevated levels of serum calcium consistent with familial benign hypercalcemia. Laryngo-onycho-cutaneous syndrome is a newly recognized condition and its association with familial benign hypercalcemia has not been previously reported.
