An 11-year-old girl in Vietnam has calcinosis cutis, alopecia totalis and hyperthyroidism without Down syndrome, a combination of conditions that has never been recorded in medical history.

 

The girl, who lives in the southern province of Binh Phuoc, began to lose her hair at the age of 2, and was complete bald by the age of 8, according to her family. She also had a bump on her neck, as well as yellow papules around her neck, armpits and arms.

 

In August 2021, she went to Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital in HCMC to have her neck bump diagnosed, and testing showed that she had calcinosis cutis and alopecia totalis.
