| Summary: | Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome is a rare dysmorphic syndrome. There are over 100 individuals reported in the literature. It is estimated that there are perhaps 200-300 individuals world-wide. The diagnosis can be suspected by constellation of cutaneous, cardiac and facial features. Recognition of this syndrome is important in view of the future risk of malignancy and for genetic counseling.
