Case reports: acne fulminans in Marfan syndrome.
We report on a 12-year-old boy suffering from acne fulminans in combination with Marfan syndrome. The trigger for acne induction seemed to be a testosterone therapy. The particular therapeutic problems in the present case are described. No acne keloids were observed but atrophic scars that may be due to Marfan syndrome.
