Haim-Munk syndrome with erythroderma - A case report
Keywords:
Aggressive periodontitis, Haim-Munk syndrome, Palmo-plantar keratoderma, Papillon Lefèvre syndromeAbstract
Haim-Munk syndrome (HMS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of keratinization clinically characterized by early onset severe periodontitis, palmoplantar keratoderma, onychogryphosis and arachnodactyly. Pes planus, acro-osteolysis and recurrent pyogenic infections are the frequent findings. Lysosomal protease cathepsin C gene mutation is the key etiological factor. Diagnosis is established on the basis of clinical features. We described a case of HMS presented in our OPD, with an unusual presentation i.e. erythroderma.ÂReferences
