Abstract
Noonan’s syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with a webbed neck that mimics
turner syndrome. However, the syndrome has also been found to be genetically
heterogeneous. Noonan syndrome is characterized by short stature, hyperkeratosis of skin,
distinct facial features, lymphoreticular abnormalities, nail dystrophy. No abnormality in
chromosome number has so far been reported. Here we present a 25 year old female who
came to Bangladesh Medical College Hospital in May’08, with generalized skin eruptions
and left leg swelling.
