introduction: papillon-lefèvre syndrome(pls) characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder with rapidly progressive periodontitis and premature loss of both deciduous and permanent teeth. in this study, we report the clinical and radiographic features of papillon-lefèvre syndrome in an 11- year-old girl and we also discuss the history and various th...

Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by cathepsin C gene mutation leading to the deficiency of cathepsin C enzymatic activity. The disease is characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, periodontopathy and precocious loss of dentition, and increased susceptibility to infections. Pyogenic liver abscess is an increasingly recognized complication. Three cases o...

Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disease comprising palmoplantar keratoderma and periodontitis. Pyogenic liver abscess is an increasingly recognized complication. We report a new case of this association and review the current literature.

Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that presents clinically with palmoplantar keratoderma and periodontitis results in early-onset dental loss. PLS management difficult. We report 30-year-old female who had unfavourable response to topical keratolytic creams, oral isotretinoin narrow-band ultraviolet-B (NB-UVB) phototherapy but showed significant clinical impr...

Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterised by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and severe early-onset periodontitis. The development of malignant cutaneous neoplasms within the hyperkeratotic lesions of the syndrome is very rare. Here, we report on a 67-year-old German Caucasian male with Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome associated with recurrent squamous cell carc...

Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder first described by two French physicians, Papillon and Lefèvre in 1924. The disorder is characterized by diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma and precocious aggressively progressing periodontitis, leading to the premature loss of deciduous and permanent teeth at a very young age. The cutaneous lesions are usually manifested simu...

BACKGROUND Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and aggressively progressing periodontitis leading to premature loss of deciduous and permanent dentition. The etiopathogenesis of the syndrome is relatively obscure, and immunologic, genetic, or possible bacterial etiologies have been proposed. CASE PRESENTATION A series o...

Papillion-Lefèvre Syndrome is a very rare disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance distinguished by palmar plantar hyperkeratosis and early onset of periodontitis affecting the dentition. Genetic studies have identified a mutation in the major gene locus of chromosome 11q14 with loss of function. Cathepsin C gene is to be responsible for Papillion-Lefèvre Syndrome. The present case report de...
