Ectodermal dysplasia : a rare case report

الملخص EN

The ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) comprise a large, heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that are defined by primary defects in the development of two or more tissues derived from embryonic ectoderm.

The primarily involved tissues are the skin and its appendages (hair follicles, eccrine glands, sebaceous glands, and nails) and teeth.

Although Thurnam published the first report of a patient with ED in 1848, the term ED was not coined until 1929 by Weech.

One such case report of ED is demonstrated here.
