  Fig. 1 LEOPARD syndrome clinical presentation. A: Numerous black-brown macules (lentigo) with clearly defined edge over back. B: ECG showed atrial fibrillation and left ventricular strain pattern. C: Microscopic examination showed lots of melanocytes without atypia were concentrated in the deep epidermis layer and the number of melanocytes was markedly elevated (H&E staining, × 200). D: In the parasternal short axis view, the ratio of noncompact/compact layers > 2. E: Apical four chambers view. F: Cardiac MRI revealed that multiple trabeculations in the apical segments. There were no evidences of delayed gadolinium enhancement.
