Ectodermal dysplasias are a heterogeneous group of rare inherited disorders. Molecular findings and clarification of cell sig naling processes and ectodermal-mesenchyme interaction enabled the development of a clinical-functional model, which in turn helps to explain clinical signs, with variability in severity, associated non-ectodermal abnormalities and overlap seen in many patients. We herein review the curr...
Cystic lymphangioma (CL) is a rare benign tumor, which occurs typically during childhood, with craniofacial, cervical or axillary being the most common locations.
