Hypotrichosis-Lymphoedema-Telangiectasia Syndrome: Brief Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Hypotrichosis-lymphoedema-telangiectasia syndrome (HLTS) can be identified by defects in the superficial vasculature, lymphatic system and hair follicles. We report a case of a 25-year-old female who presented with sparse hair throughout the scalp, body, eyebrows, nasal telangiectasia and oedema of the lower limbs. Once the patient is diagnosed with HLTS, lifelong monitoring of vascular integrity is essential.
