Keloids: An unwanted spontaneity in Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome

Abstract

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a rare developmental disorder comprising of mental retardation, unusual facial appearance, broad thumbs, and big toes. It is frequently associated with molecular lesions in the cAMP response element binding protein. Many cutaneous abnormalities are associated with RTS. Multiple spontaneous keloids are some of them. We hereby report a case of this rare syndrome associated with keloids without any preceding trauma.
