A new case with the typical features of progeria (Hutchinson‐Gilford) occurred in India. Histopathology of the skin showed atrophic epidermis and diffuse fibrosis of dermis with loss of appendages. Roentgenographic findings were characteristic of progeria. The child also had a gangrenous ulcer over the left foot, a finding not highlighted in the literature.
