✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Hypostatic ulceration of the legs is relatively uncommon in men. Recently, the hypothesis that recurrent ulceration in men may be associated with chromosomal abnormalities such as Klinefelter's syndrome is gradually being accepted. Herein, we describe a patient with Klinefelter's syndrome complicated by recurrent leg ulcers, in whom immunological disorders such as positive antinuclear factor, antiphospholipid antibodies and cryoglobulins without venous insufficiencies were demonstrated. Interestingly, these abnormalities of immune functions were normalized after the androgen replacement therapy for Klinefelter's syndrome, and his leg ulcers immediately recovered.

Acne conglobata has been reported to be more common and more severe in XYY chromosomal aberration than in normal subjects. Whereas only exceptional cases have been observed in the more common XXY Klinefelter karyotype. We report a 17-year-old male with both Klinefelter's syndrome and acne conglobata

The urinary testosterone excretion in 55 patients with Klinefelter's syndrome was determined by gas-chromatographic methods. The mean testosterone level in the group of Klinefelter patients was significantly decreased (15.7 mug/24 hrs) compared with the excretion by 30 normal men (44.1 mug/24 hrs).
