Familial Bier’s Spots: A Father And Two Sons
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Bier spots are small, hypopigmented macules that are usually found on the arms and legs of young adults. They are usually considered benign vascular anomaly and usually occur sporadically. No familial case has been reported so far. Herein, we report of three cases with Bier’s spots in the same family consisting of a father and his 2 sons. To the best of our knowledge our cases are the first examples of familial Bier’s spots in literature.
