Popis: Focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome) is a rare syndrome comprising developmental anomalies of tissues and organs of mesoectodermal origin. As a result, there are abnormalities of the eyes, skin, oral structures, musculoskeletal system and central nervous system. This article describes the case of a four-year-old female with focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH) who displayed many of the oral features associated with this syndrome. Her condition was complicated by recurrent episodes of facial cellulitis in relation to skin lesions of the face. This is an unusually severe case of FDH with previously unreported association of cutaneous anomalies and facial cellulitis.
