Abstract
Yellow nail syndrome is characterized by the triad of abnormally shaped, slow‐growing, yellow nails, lymphedema, and chronic respiratory tract disease. Nail changes may precede the other features by several years. The syndrome is most often seen in middle‐aged individuals and has not been docomented in children under age 11 years. We cared for an 8‐year‐old girl with this disorder.Keywords
