Abstract
The clinical features of the Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome include mental defic iency and broad thumbs and toes. Typical dermatological findings are capill ary hemangioma of the forehead and hypertrichosis. Rubinstein-Taybi syndrom e patients also seem to be prone to develop keloids. We present a case of a one year old girl with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome and the typical dermatolo gical features.
