Turner syndrome, characterized by monosomy of X chromosome, has a peculiar phenotype, including short stature, sexual infantilism, cardiovascular, renal, skeletal, and dermatological abnormalities. The dermatological manifestations of Turner syndrome are diverse and include skin atrophy, telangiectasias, and hyperpigmentation. The skin changes are often subtle and may be overlooked in the initial evaluation. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose Turner syndrome in patients with unexplained skin changes. The dermatological spectrum of Turner syndrome is broad and includes a range of skin manifestations that can be used to diagnose the condition. The diagnosis of Turner syndrome is based on clinical evaluation, karyotyping, and molecular genetic testing. The treatment of Turner syndrome is primarily focused on hormone replacement therapy and surgical interventions to correct the associated anomalies. The prognosis of Turner syndrome is generally good, and with appropriate management, patients can lead normal lives. However, the condition is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and infertility. Therefore, regular follow-up and monitoring are essential to prevent and manage these complications. In conclusion, Turner syndrome is a complex genetic disorder that requires a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management. The dermatological spectrum of Turner syndrome is an important aspect of the condition, and dermatologists play a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of the skin manifestations associated with Turner syndrome.
