Skin Dimples and Rubella

KEITH HAMMOND M.D.1

1 Director of Pediatric Education, Babies' Hospital Unit, 15-19 Roseville Avenue, Newark, New Jersey 07107

Apparently no one has reported a peculiar discrete, deep dimpling of the skin over the patella and certain bony prominences as a physical finding of early infancy. Consequently, the following patients and circumstances are described for the consideration of other physicians who might encounter, or have encountered, these peculiar dimples.

K.T. was born in 1963 and her physical findings at that time included some very striking dimples of the skin. These were present over each patella, over the radial styloid process and the lower end of the ulna at each wrist, over the bony medial and lateral epicondyles at each elbow, and one over each superior and inferior posterior iliac spine, neatly demarcating the sacral portion of the pelvic girdle.
