We present the case of a 10-year-old girl with a six months history of disseminated asymptomatic, brown pigmented macules on the trunk and proximal parts of the extremities. The clinical picture, histological findings, and the course of disease were similar to those of idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation. The cutaneous lesions gradually disappeared over the next two years without any treatment, and no relapse occurred. The knowledge of this disease is important in order to avoid unnecessary treatment as spontaneous resolution of the lesions may be expected within months or a few years. The spontaneous regression without any treatment is an additional diagnostic criterion.

Teeth, either erupted or impacted, that exceed the normal count are known as supernumerary teeth. They can appear unilaterally or bilaterally, singly or in multiples, and may be located anywhere in both dental arches. Multiple permanent impacted supernumerary teeth are uncommon and are often associated to syndromes but can be idiopathic.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an idiopathic acute inflammatory illness that commonly affects children in Northeast Asian countries. In this case report, a psoriasiform eruption appeared on the face and extremities following the onset of KD. A review of previous reports identified 38 cases of psoriasiform eruptions following KD, typically appearing 4 days to 2 months after the onset of KD, unlike other skin manifestations associated with the disease.

Erythroderma is the end-stage condition caused by various inflammatory diseases, presenting with widespread generalized coalesced erythema on the trunk and extremities. Erythroderma is not a disease itself, but rather is a symptom expressing erythrodermic condition, which is frequently associated with inguinal lymphadenopathy, chills, and mild fever. The clinical characteristics include sparing the folds of the trunk and extremities (deck-chair sign), and cobblestone-like disseminated grouping prurigo; however, the deck-chair sign is not specific to papulo-erythroderma (Ofuji disease).

Article Synopsis
- - Fahr's syndrome is a rare neurodegenerative disorder with under-explored oral manifestations; this study examines the dental features and genetic aspects using a specific patient case and literature review.
- - The examined patient exhibited several dental issues, including extra teeth, missing teeth, and enamel problems, but genetic testing did not identify known mutations linked to her conditions.
- - A review of previous cases revealed that patients with Fahr's syndrome and related disorders share common oral problems, suggesting that dental anomalies may be significant features in understanding these conditions.
