Kindler syndrome is a rare genetic disorder showing some predominant clinical manifestations, for example, trauma-induced blisters, progressive poikiloderma, skin atrophy, and photosensitivity. Oral manifestations are not commonly described and can be often misdiagnosed. This report describes the case of a female patient diagnosed with Kindler syndrome showing the classical clinical features affecting the skin, in addition to oral lesions manifesting as keratotic plaques and ulcers affecting the buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, alveolar ridge, hard palate, and soft palate. An incisional biopsy was performed to confirm the diagnostic hypothesis of an autoimmune lesion possibly related with the syndrome. Knowledge about the possible manifestations of the Kindler syndrome is important to improve its management.

Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Castilla-La Mancha, Talavera de la Reina, 45600, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzes the economic burden and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) patients in Spain, highlighting the financial impact on both patients and society.
- - With an average annual cost of €31,352 per patient, the costs consist mainly of non-healthcare expenses (71.3%), healthcare costs (17.2%), and productivity losses (11.5%).
- - HRQoL scores indicate a significant impact, with severe EB patients scoring lower (0.45) than non-severe situations (0.62), underlining the importance of considering both direct and indirect costs in healthcare policies.

Article Synopsis
- Kindler Syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic condition that causes problems like fragile skin, blisters, and sensitivity to sunlight due to issues with a specific gene.
- This study focuses on a new genetic variant found in a Chinese patient and looks at how KS shows up in other people in China.
- Researchers used advanced DNA testing and reviewed past cases, finding that almost all patients had skin problems, and many also had issues with their nails, fingers, mouth, eyes, and digestion.
Unusual oral manifestation of Kindler syndrome: a case report and review of literature.

Article Synopsis
- Kindler syndrome (KS) is a rare skin condition that starts in babies and causes painful blisters, unusual skin color changes, and sensitivity to sunlight as they get older.
- It happens because of a problem with a protein called kindlin-1, which helps skin cells stick together and move properly.
- People with KS can have issues with their mouths that are often missed or treated wrong, and having diabetes can make these problems worse, leading to bigger challenges with healing and skin issues.
