“…Acrogeria, an extremely rare genetic syndrome with only about 50 cases reported,[ 1 2 4 5 ] involves mainly the distal part of the extremities and is characterized by a mild non-progressive form of skin atrophy giving it an aged appearance. It could be caused by mutations in the LMNA, ZMPSTE24 , or COL3A1 genes.…”

Acrogeria is a rare disorder that is characterized by premature aging of the distal extremities. It was first described by Gottron in 1941. Only about 50 cases have yet been reported worldwide. It is diagnosed clinically, and patients have a normal life expectancy. The disorder is seen from birth and could have an autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance. The classic features include a characteristic pinched face, thin lips, fine hair, skeletal defects, and thin, taut parchment-like skin of the extremities. We describe a case of Acrogeria, Gottron type, who also had a borderline personality disorder. However, there is very little information on the prevalence of psychopathology in patients having syndromes of premature aging.

“…Detailed history and careful examination may aid in differentiating other causes of childhood poikiloderma. Acrogeria manifests at the time of birth or shortly afterwards with poikiloderma limited to acral parts 3 . Hereditary sclerosing poikiloderma presents in childhood with generalized poikiloderma with accentuation in flexures and extensor surfaces along with sclerodermatous plaques on palms and soles 4 .…”
