Abstract

Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare hereditary disorder involving two or more of the ectodermal structures, which include the skin, hair, nails, teeth, mucus and sweat glands. Different combination of defects may give rise to variable phenotypes of this syndromic disorder. We present a nine years old boy having dental, skin and sweat glands defect. A brief review of literature is also presented.
