Pelger-Huet anomaly (PHA) is a benign hematological anomaly that is characterized by impaired lobulation of neutrophils with a coarse nuclear chromatin. Skeletal abnormalities may accompany this anomaly. Autosomal recessive deafness-4 (DFNB4) with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) comprises a phenotypic spectrum of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). We report a case with SNHL, multiple skeletal anomalies including osteochondroma, developmental delay, and PHA. Molecular studies revealed a heterozygous pathogenic variant in the gene and a homozygous likely pathogenic variant in the gene. Due to these 2 variants, he was diagnosed with PHA and DFNB4 with EVA. If goiter develops, DFNB4 with EVA is named Pendred syndrome (PDS), so the patient will be followed up for this condition, and in the current literature, there is no case with PDS and PHA co-existence either. PHA may be accompanied by multiple skeletal abnormalities. In our case, there is also concomitance with osteochondroma. Although these are independent and distinct diagnoses, we present this case due to the concomitance of these situations.
Pelger-Huet异常(PHA)是一种良性血液学异常,其特征是中性粒细胞分叶受损,核染色质粗糙。骨骼异常可能伴随这种异常。伴有扩大的前庭导水管(EVA)的常染色体隐性遗传性耳聋4型(DFNB4)包括一系列感音神经性听力损失(SNHL)的表型。我们报告了一例患有SNHL、包括骨软骨瘤在内的多种骨骼异常、发育迟缓以及PHA的病例。分子研究显示该基因存在一个杂合致病性变异,另一个基因存在一个纯合可能致病性变异。由于这两个变异,他被诊断为PHA和伴有EVA的DFNB4。如果出现甲状腺肿,伴有EVA的DFNB4被称为彭德莱综合征(PDS),因此该患者将对此情况进行随访,并且在当前文献中,也没有PDS和PHA共存的病例。PHA可能伴有多种骨骼异常。在我们的病例中,还伴有骨软骨瘤。尽管这些是独立且不同的诊断,但由于这些情况同时存在,我们呈现了这个病例。
