title: Musculoskeletal and overgrowth syndromes associated with cutaneous abnormalities.
abstract: There are cutaneous abnormalities that are characteristic to certain peculiar musculoskeletal conditions. The understanding of associated imaging and clinical skin findings together in this context can play an important role for the dermatologist and radiologist in establishing the correct diagnoses. The scope of dermatological manifestations of many acquired diseases of the soft tissues, muscles or bone is broad. Therefore, the intent of this article is to review those entities that are genetic and/or inherited. The goal of this review is to develop a better understanding of the cases presented. In these cases, collaboration between dermatologists and radiologists may be paramount to generating a diagnosis and monitoring at-risk patients.
