ABSTRACT
Introduction: This is a non-hereditary, very rare syndrome,
present since birth or youth; it is due to an alteration in the
chromosome 20. The objective of this work is to present
the case of a male adolescent who consulted because of an
ulcer in the sole of the right foot; he also showed signs of
this syndrome.
Case report: 16-year-old male who lived in
a distant rural zone; he complained of an ulcer in the sole of
the right foot for several months. There was shortness of the
right lower extremity, cafe-au-lait pigmented skin lesions,
abnormal development of limbs and alopecia areata of the
scalp. Cleaning of the ulcer, bandages, sole protector, and
rest were recommended. A future work-up with X rays and
consultations was planned, but he never came back. Later,
he changed his address. Clinical findings were the basis of
the diagnosis of McCune-Albright syndrome.
