Abstract

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a genetic disorder defined by the developmental complication of two or more tissues derived from the ectoderm. It has obvious phenotypic characteristics such as hypodontia, hypotrichosis and hypohidrosis. It mainly affects men and has a recessive inheritance linked to the X chromosome. It is important to perform an early diagnosis given the complications associated with this disease. Patients should be treated by a multidisciplinary team of dermatologists, ophthalmologists, dentists, psychologists and social workers. We present the clinical case of a patient and family members with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, whose diagnosis was clinical and histopathological.
