Abstract

Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome(TRPS) type I is characterized by sparse and slow-growing hairs, pear-shaped nose, elongated philtrum, thin upper lip, and bone deformities, especially, cone-shaped epiphyses of the phalanges. The syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. We report a case of TRPS type I with alopecia like male pattern baldness and Perthes-like changes on the right hip joint.
