title: Adult Progeria: Werner Syndrome.
abstract: Werner's syndrome is an adult premature aging syndrome of autosomal recessive inheritance affecting connective tissues throughout the body.1 The exact etiology remains obscure even though biochemical and connective tissue abnormalities have been postulated.2 The disease involves multiple systems of the body and may be associated with internal malignancy.3 We report a case of a 35 year old man who presented with uncontrolled diabetes and non-healing ulcers.
