Abstract
Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by dermatological manifestations and early onset periodontitis. The pathogenesis of PLS is secondary to mutation of the cathepsin C gene. Hence, the manifestations are expressed on the areas of the body covered by epithelium, such as palms, soles, knees and keratinized oral gingiva. PLS and can occur in siblings born of consanguineous marriages. This case report discusses the literature review of pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment options in a 10 year old child.
