Eccrine squamous metaplasia and periadnexal granulomas: new cutaneous histopathologic findings in cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome.
Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by dysmorphic facial features and neurologic, cardiac, ophthalmologic, and dermatologic findings. Previously reported skin and hair findings in cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome include sparse, slow-growing curly hair, atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis, follicular hyperkeratosis, and keratosis pilaris. We report the case of a 4-year-old boy who has cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome with previously unreported histopathologic findings of eccrine squamous metaplasia and periadnexal granuloma.
