[The Waardenburg-Klein syndrome]
Abstract
A case of Waardenburg-Klein syndrome associated with a Hodgkin's disease is reported in a 29 year old female. Such an association seems to be fortuitous. The authors discuss the dermatological aspects of this rare disease, particularly the disturbances of cutaneous pigmentation. Ultrastructural study of depigmented skin indicates the melanocytes are absent and precise the place of this depigmentation in the group of genetic abnormalities of skin pigmentation.
