Abstract

The 17 years old boy was diagnosed as Borjeson Forsmann Lehmann Syndrome who was referred to our Genetic Diagnosis Center for his dysmorphic features, obesity, gynecomasty and mental retardation . There are so many diseases in differantial diagnosis of obesity and mental retardation that BFLS is a rare one of them. We aimed to discuss the findings of the patient clinically diagnosed as BFLS within the scope of literature.

Özet

Dismorfik yüz görünümü, obezite, jinekomasti ve mental gerilik nedeniyle Genetik Tanı Merkezimizde değerlendirilen 17 yaşındaki erkek olguya klinik olarak Börjeson Forsmann Lehmann Sendromu (BFLS) ön tanısı konuldu. Obezite ve mental gerilik nedeniyle başvuran hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda pek çok hastalık bulunmaktadır ve oldukça nadir görülen BFLS da bu hastalıklardan biridir. Bu çalışmada; BFLS ön tanısı düşündüğümüz olgunun bulgularını literatür bilgileri ışığında tartışmayı amaçladık.
