Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a multisystemic genetic disease associated with structural, behavioral, and intellectual disorders. The clinical appearance of PWS includes dysmorphic facial features with almond-shaped eyes, a narrow bifrontal diameter, and a thin upper lip; short stature; central obesity; and small hands and feet. We present a case of a 27-year-old woman with PWS and describe the typical clinical features and cutaneous manifestations of PWS.
