THE CASE
An 8-year-boy was referred to our skeletal dysplasia center by his dentist for evaluation of possible ectodermal dysplasia. The dentist noticed small, widely spaced teeth, multiple missing teeth, and the absence of eruption of secondary teeth. Additionally, the patient's body mass index had been gradually increasing to the 85th percentile, thereby classifying him as overweight, and a skeletal survey showed a delayed bone age of 4 years 6 months at a chronological age of 8 years 9 months.
