Abstract

Aim: A case of Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn syndrome (NFJS) and its multidisciplinary team approach for diagnosis and management are reported.

Background: The incidence of NFJS, a rare genodermatosis, is 1 in 2-4 million. The keratin 14 (KRT14) gene mutations that cause this autosomal dominant condition result in abnormal keratinocyte activity. A variety of cutaneous symptoms are its defining characteristics. Clinically, NFJS manifests as palmoplantar keratoderma, hypo- and hyperpigmented macules, lack of dermatoglyphics, and lack of sweating. Patients may have many oral problems in addition to dermatological symptoms.

Case description: A 10-year-old male child reported with retained teeth and bleeding gums. Inquiries about the hyperpigmentation of the facial skin revealed a history of onset of pigmentation at the age of 6 months, which was initially noticed on the hands and legs, and later extended to the face and trunk region. Cutaneous examination showed reticular cutaneous pigmentation all over the body, moderate thickening of the palms and soles, absence of dermatoglyphics, nail dystrophy, and malalignment of the great toe. Intraoral examination showed erythematous gingiva, several carious teeth, and missing teeth.

Conclusion: Based on clinical features, radiographic features, and histopathological report, the case was diagnosed as NFJS.

Clinical significance: A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for NFJS syndrome in order to provide an accurate diagnosis and all-encompassing patient care that enhances quality of life. Supportive care is the main focus, with an emphasis on treating the cutaneous symptoms and related dental problems. A better prognosis depends on early diagnosis.

Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn综合征1例报告。
目的:报道1例naegelli - franceschetti - jadassohn综合征(NFJS)及其多学科团队诊断和治疗方法。背景:NFJS是一种罕见的遗传性皮肤病,发病率为2-4百万分之一。角蛋白14 (KRT14)基因突变导致这种常染色体显性疾病,导致角化细胞活性异常。多种皮肤症状是其决定性特征。临床上,NFJS表现为掌跖角化病,色素沉着和色素沉着,皮肤斑纹缺乏,出汗少。患者除了皮肤症状外,还可能出现许多口腔问题。病例描述:一名10岁男童报告牙齿残留和牙龈出血。询问面部皮肤色素沉着,发现6个月时开始出现色素沉着,最初见于手部和腿部,后来扩展到面部和躯干区域。皮肤检查显示全身网状皮肤色素沉着,手掌和脚底中度增厚,无皮纹,指甲营养不良,大脚趾排列失调。口腔内检查显示牙龈红斑、多颗蛀牙及缺牙。结论:综合临床表现、影像学表现及组织病理学报告,诊断为NFJS。临床意义:为了提供准确的诊断和全方位的患者护理,提高生活质量,多学科方法对NFJS综合征至关重要。支持性护理是主要重点,重点是治疗皮肤症状和相关的牙齿问题。较好的预后取决于早期诊断。本文引用方式:Jangili B, Jampanapalli SR, pathath T等。Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn综合征1例报告。中华临床儿科杂志,2015;18(4):461-465。
