Summary We report a case of focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH) with multiple giant papillomas on nonperimucosal areas. The patient had had cribriform hyperpigmented and depigmented plaques on the trunk and extremities since birth. There were also hypoplastic skin lesions on the right arm, left elbow and right thigh. The multiple giant papillomas began to appear. when she was 22 years old, on the trunk and extremities. Cryotherapy was effective in controlling them.
