  • Title: Spondylohumerofemoral hypoplasia (giant cell chondrodysplasia): a neonatally lethal short-limbed skeletal displasia.
    Author: Sillence DO, Lachman RS, Jenkins T, Riccardi VM, Rimoin DL.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 1982 Sep; 13(1):7-14. PubMed ID: 6753583.
    Abstract:
    We report two sporadic cases with a previously undescribed skeletal dysplasia lethal in the neonatal period. The syndrome is characterized clinically by striking rhizomelic shortness of the limbs and radiographically by absence or hypoplasia of the humeri, hypoplastic vertebrae, absent fibulae and ossification in only the distal phalanges of the hands. Morphologic studies show hypocellular areas of growth plate cartilage containing occasional multinucleated giant cells.
