Congenital ectodermal dysplasia is a group of familial disorders that affect tissues and organs of ectodermal origin to varying degrees. Our patient with classical X‐linked anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED) showed unusual skin manifestations including cafe‐au‐lait spots on the face, neck, buttock, and lumbo‐sacral region; depigmentation of mucous membrane of the lower lip, buccal cavity, and left arm; absence of tragii; plantar keratoderma; and kyphosis of lower cervical and upper thorasic spines which have not been previously reported in the world literature.
