Abstract
Coexistence of aplastic anemia with a malformative syndrome suggests most probably an hereditary form of aplastic anemia. Fanconi anemia is the most frequent. It associates characteristic anomalies of the face, with microphtalmia, brownish spots, statural and ponderal retardation, and thumb anomalies. Ungueal dystrophy, mucosal leucoplasia are almost pathognomonic of congenital dyskeratosis. When the malformative syndrome is not characteristic, the cytogenetic study may also fail to make the differential diagnosis, as was the situation in our case.
