77. A Rare Case of Ferguson-Smith Disease

Abstract

Ferguson-Smith Disease (FSD) is a rare genodermatosis characterised by the development of multiple skin tumours that are clinically and histologically indistinguishable from squamous cell carcinomas. FSD lesions are locally invasive but regress spontaneously after several months leaving disfiguring atrophic facial scars. First reported in a number of families of Scottish descent, FSD is now more widely reported in the literature despite the relatively low incidence of affected individuals.
