Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the developmental disturbance of ectoderm-derived tissues, organs, and accessory appendages, i.e. skin, hair, tooth, nail, and sweat glands. ED has two types hypohidrotic or anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. We report this case of classical hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) with clubbing. The association of clubbing with HED is still rare. This case report aims to discuss the etiology, clinical manifestations, and management of ectodermal dysplasia. A multidisciplinary approach is required including dentists, nutritionists, dermatologists, and physicians to manage ectodermal dysplasia.
Keywords: anhidrosis; ectodermal dysplasia; finger clubbing; hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia; hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
