Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder first described by two French physicians,
Papillon and Lefèvre in 1924. The disorder is characterized by diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma and precocious
aggressively progressing periodontitis, leading to the premature loss of deciduous and permanent teeth at a very
young age. The cutaneous lesions are usually manifested simultaneously with the intra-oral presentations and include
keratotic plaques on the palms and soles varying from mild psoriasiform scaly skin to overt hyperkeratosis. The
etiopathogenesis of the syndrome is relatively obscure and immunologic, genetic or possible bacterial etiologies
have been proposed. Due to the vast degree of periodontal breakdown involved at such an early age, the dental
surgeon is often the first to diagnose the syndrome. This paper presents a clinical presentation a 15 year old male
diagnosed with Papillon- Lefèvre Syndrome.
