A new case of the Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome is described with details of anthropometry, dermatoglyphs, endocrine function studies and mental state. Comparisons are made with the five previously reported cases. The diagnosis is based on the clinical appearance. Endocrine studies gave normal results and the patient's short stature is not due to growth hormone deficiency. There is no evidence for primary hypogonadism.
