Abstract

Hereditary anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a rare hereditary condition in which certain structures derived from the ectoderm are undeveloped or underdeveloped, although, on a rarity, mesodermal or endodermal derivatives may be associated. Recently, we have experienced a case of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in 4 years old male. He had abscence of sweating, hypotrichosis and anodontia, which was characteristic features of this disorder. We established the diagnosis with this clinical features & skin biopsy and reviewed the pertinent literatures briefly.
