Congenital poikiloderma, or Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS), is a rare genodermatosis with autosomal recessive inheritance. It is characterized by early-onset facial poikiloderma and associated with clinical features, including short stature, sparse scalp hair, absent or sparse eyelashes or eyebrows, juvenile cataracts, skeletal abnormalities, premature aging, and susceptibility to osteosarcoma. There are 2 types of congenital poikiloderma. Type 1 is characterized by rapidly progressive, bilateral, juvenile cataracts. In contrast, type 2 is characterized by congenital bone abnormalities and an increased risk of osteosarcoma in childhood and squamous cell carcinoma at an older age. This activity reviews the presentation, evaluation, and management of congenital poikiloderma and stresses the role of an interprofessional team approach to the care of affected patients.
