Goltz Syndrome (Focal Dermal Hypoplasia) is a rare congenital mesoectodermal dysplasia with multisystemic involvement. It was first described by Goltz in 1962 and more than 200 cases reported worldwide.3 Skin lesions are characterized by athrophic, hyperpigmented linear or reticulated macules, multiple mucocutaneous papillomas, fat herniations or fat tumors. Besides the skin, other structures frequently involved are the skeletal system, eyes, teeth, hair, nails and central nervous system.1The association between Goltz syndrome and anti-HIV serology was not found in the literature.
