A case of acrogeria in a 12-year-old girl is reported. Acrogeria is a rare, nonhereditary, probably congenital disease of which the main characteristic is an atrophy of the skin giving it an aged appearance. The defect is localized to the dermis and subcutis, whereas, the epidermis seems not to be affected. The disease might be associated with other congenital malformations.
