A 5.5-year-old girl was brought to our hospital with a complaint of disproportionate overgrowth and lengthening of the right leg accompanied by marked hypopigmented lesions over the trunk and legs, which reportedly had become noticeable by 2-weeks postpartum and gradually increased and spread. She was born to non-consanguineous parents and had been under monitoring for delayed speech. On examination, her height and weight were 110 cm (10th to 25th percentile) and 23 kg (75th to 90th percentile), respectively. The dermatological examination was remarkable for hypopigmented patches following the Blaschko lines over the trunk and both legs, more prominently on the right leg (, ), which was thicker and longer (~2 cm) than the left (). Apart from these findings, the systemic examinations, routine haemogram and biochemical tests, and magnetic resonance scans of the cranium and lower extremities were normal. When the Denver Developmental Screening Test was administered for speech delay, it was graded as ‘delayed’, correlating with the age of 3.5 years. After consultation with the dermatology department, a skin biopsy was considered unnecessary.
Patient 6, a 20-year-old male with no noticeable familial cutaneous anomalies, was first referred for a diagnostic work-up regarding his cutaneous manifestations, which were diffuse, as patches, and primarily found on his left side. He had been first referred at age 3 years due to his severe psychomotor delay and for generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The EEG, at that age, revealed spike and wave discharges, prevalent in the frontal regions. Moderate cognitive delay was present. At his most recent physical examination, his stature was 175 cm (50th percentile): his left upper limb was 3 cm larger than the right, and the left lower limb 6 cm larger than the right. The left lower limb was 2.5 cm longer than the right. The ears were bilaterally large and cupped with an enlargement of the left hemiface. Mild right kyphoscoliosis was recorded. Brain MRI was normal. Skin biopsy was not performed.
