Abstract

LEOPARD syndrome is a complex dysmorphogenetic disorder transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait with variable penetrance and expressivity. In recent years this multifaceted syndrome has attracted the interest of dermatologists, pediatricians, neurologists, cardiologists, endocrinologists, orthopedists, and radiologists.
