Abstract

Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive trait, which is transmitted with an estimated frequency of one to four per million individuals. It is characterized by palmar plantar keratosis and severe early-onset periodontitis affecting both deciduous and permanent dentition. In this report, we present a five year-old male child patient with symptoms typical of Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome.He had hyperkeratosis of palms, soles, elbows and knees. The mandibular deciduous molars of the child exhibited mobility.

Keywords: Palmar plantar keratosis, Periodontitis Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome.
