Aim: Centrofacial lentiginosis is consisted of numerous lentigines located on the nose and cheeks in a butterfly-like pattern. Apart from lentigines, there may exist skeletal and neuropschiatric disorders. Case Report: A 12-year-old boy visited our clinic with persistant spots located on his face. Psychiatric and dental pathologies were also found. The patient refused psyciatric therapies. Sunblockers and topical emolients were advised.Conclusion: Neuropsychiatric changes, absence of xyphoid process, umblical hernia, spina bifida and lumbal hypertrichosis may also found in centrofacial lentiginosis. Although it is a rare disorder, centrofacial lentiginosis should be kept in mind in patients with facial lentigines.Keywords: Lentiginosis, NeuropsychologyTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2003, 23:154-155
