Ehlers - Danlos Syndrome
Abstract
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is an inherited disorder of connective tissue in which joint hypermobility, hyperelasticity of skin, bleeding tendency, and scar formation are the most prominent features. It is a generalized disease with essentially universal involvement. A 3-year-old female child had velvety skin, skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, subcutaneous mobile masses on the left shin, many scars on both knees, subcutaneous hematoma, and thick and very folded skin on both palms and soles, but no evidence of internal disorder. Cutaneous histopathologic findings were nonspecific without increase of dermal elastic fibers on Verhoeff stain. Diagnosis was confirmed by clinical and histopathological findings as Ehlers-DanIos syndrome.
