Triangular Lunulae in Papillon–Lefèvre Syndrome: A Case Report
Triangular lunulae, typically associated with Nail-Patella Syndrome, may also present in other syndromes, as seen in this case. Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome is a rare genodermatosis linked to significant morbidity. Consanguinity is a recognized high-risk factor. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce morbidity in affected individuals, and raising societal awareness about consanguinity can help alleviate the disease's burden in populations where this practice is prevalent.
