LINEAR AND WHORLED NEVOID HYPERMELANOSIS: A RARE FAMILIAL CASE REPORT

Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis with hemiatrophy.

FIG. 1 Linear and Whorled Nevoid Hypermelanosis: Linear and whorled hyperpigmented macules in a reticulate pattern along the Blaschko’s lines over trunk and limbs. A two-years-old boy presented with abnormal body pigmentation and body asymmetry noted since birth. A preceding vesicular eruption was absent. He was developmentally normal. Family history was insignificant. Examination revealed line...

Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis in three successive generations.

Sir, Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis (LWNH) is characterized by hyperpigmented macules in a streaky configuration along the lines of Blaschko, without preceding inflammation or atrophy.[1-3] Lesions are distributed mainly on the trunk and extremities, sparing palms, soles, and mucosae. The usual age of the onset of hyperpigmentation occurs within the first few weeks of life, continues ...

Familial hypercholesterolemia: a case report

Abstract Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a hereditary dislipidemia. Patients present with extremely high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which is due to mutation in the gene of LDL receptor. Homozygous patients (HoFH) whose incidence is 1 in 1.000.000 are at high risk of premature aortic valve stenosis, and coronary artery atherosclerosis. In homozygous individual...
