RESUMO

We report a case of hyalinosis cutis et mucosae, a rare disorder of hyalin deposition in skin and mucous membranes, in a 27-year-old male, whose coefficient of inbreeding was 0-0106 due to seven common ancestors, including an aunt of an early American president, in the eight preceding generations.
