Sir , Individuals a¡ected byDown's syndrome sometimes showpeculiar dermatoses; some of them, such as palpebral syringomas (1), seem to occur with a particular frequency in this population, others, less frequent, are however characteristic of Down's syndrome, e.g. elastosis perforans serpiginosa (2) and milia-like idiopathic calcinosis (3).
