Factitial dermatitis was the presenting sign of the multiple lentigines syndrome (leopard syndrome) in a young woman.

Manifestations of her multiple lentigines syndrome included generalized lentigines, mild mental retardation, diabetes mellitus, transitory ECG abnormalities, a cardiac murmur, ocular hypertension, eye muscle paresis, webbed toes, and skeletal deformities of the hands and chest.
