[Multiple lentigines (LEOPARD) syndrome. Case reports and review of the literature].
The rarely occurring multiple lentigines (LEOPARD) syndrome represents a complex of skin, heart, skeleton and other malformations and is described in a 36-year-old male and his 9-year-old daughter. With the occurrence of multiple lentigines, the diagnostic search for further malformations should always be undertaken. Its differential diagnosis and its pathogenetic and clinical aspects are discussed in this paper.
