Abstract
• There are many cutaneous abnormalities in the disorder consisting of mental retardation, broad thumbs and great toes, and characteristic facies known as the Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. The findings highlighted in this case report are numerous and include, particularly, a tendency to form keloids, hypertrichosis, unusual dermatoglyphics, seborrheic dermatitis, and a possible increased susceptibility to dermatophyte infection.
