Summary

The Goltz syndrome is a rare condition in which there are congenital anomalies in skin, teeth, eyes and bone. We report an unusual case of a 17 year old girl who had various anomalies associated with the syndrome. She sustained a pathological fracture of the left femur at the site of a giant cell tumour. Another lesion occurred in the right fibula, but resolved spontaneously.

Elle souffrait d'une fracture pathologique du fémur gauche au niveau d'une tumeur à cellules géantes. Une autre lésion atteignit le péroné droit, mais guérit spontanément.
