title: Cutaneous peculiarities in blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome: report of a case.
abstract: Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) is a rare inherited disorder with characteristic oculofacial affection of the eyelid region. Recent results of genetic analysis of the causative gene, as well as a hitherto unknown association with hormone-dependent endometrial carcinoma, motivated us to review this syndrome.
