title: Rapid and easy diagnosis of Netherton syndrome with dermoscopy.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Netherton syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease demonstrating ichthyosis linearis circumflexa, atopic findings, and hair shaft anomalies. Trichorrhexis invaginata is the pathognomonic hair shaft anomaly seen in this syndrome.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  In recent years, hair shaft anomalies have been described as "matchstick" and "golf tee" signs. We present a patient with Netherton syndrome diagnosed by the presence of matchstick and golf tee hairs in addition to trichorrhexis invaginata.
