Abstract
Follicular atrophoderma has always been associated with other congenit al malformations including, Conradi-Hunermann syndrome, Bazex's syndro me and keratosis palmaris et plantaris dissipata. Congenital pseudarth rosis of the tibia has usually been associated with neurofibromatosis. We report a case of follicular atrophoderma in association with conge nital pseudarthrosis of the tibia: a previously unreported association with, in our case, a good outcome for the pseudarthrosis.
