Abstract:
We report a case of Waardenburgs syndrome in 18-year-old male patient who has total deafness of the right ear, heterochromia irides, hypopigmented patches on the face and trunk, and disseminated lentigines on the entire body surface since birth. His 51-year-old mother also has total deafness, heterochromia irides, white foreloek, and disseminated lentigines on the entire body surface. The patient with this disorder may complain of pigmentary abnormalities, and we believe dermatologists should pay more attention to systemic signs of the congenital pigmentary disorders.
