    Oral Manifestations of Lamellar Ichthyosis; A Case Report
    (Iranian Scientific Society Medical Entomology, 2009) Bolgul, Behiye; Hamamci, Nihal; Akdeniz, Sedat; Celenk, Sema
    Background: The name ichthyosis is derived from the Greek ikhthus meaning fish and refers to the similarity in appearance of the skin to fish scale. The ichthyoses are a heterogeneous group of disorders. There are few studies about the oral manifestations of these disorders. But early reports of ichthyosis in the Indian and Chinese literature date back to several hundred years. Case Presentation: Oral manifestations of the 14-year-old female patient with ichthyosis are presented. Physical examination revealed thick, brownish scales covering the entire body surface including all larger body flexures and corneae. She had short and dry hair. There were no nail abnormalities and hearing loss. Conclusion: We consider that this patient represents a new manifestation of lamellar ichthyosis disease, because congenitally teeth missing and cephalometric analysis measurements have not been reported before.
