Acroosteolysis-keloid-like lesions-premature aging syndrome

What it is

A rare, genetic, progeroid syndrome disorder characterized by a prematurely aged appearance (including lipoatrophy, thin, translucent skin, sparse, thin hair, and skeletal muscle atrophy), delayed tooth eruption, keloid-like lesions on pressure regions, and skeletal abnormalities including marked acroosteolysis, brachydactyly with small hands and feet, kyphoscoliosis, osteopenia, and progressive joint contractures in the fingers and toes. Craniofacial features include a thin calvarium, delayed closure of the anterior fontanel, flat occiput, shallow orbits, malar hypoplasia and narrow nose.

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Related health topics

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
