Until now only 60 cases has been reported in the literature, this syndrome has an infrecuent presentation; recently the syndrome has been associated with specific genetic defects in Notch 2 gene related to osteoclastogenesis. Due to this is rare disease, we highlights the importance of presenting the first case reported in Colombia of a 20 years old patient with acroosteolysis, short stature, plantar ulcer, premature loss of teeth, and characteristic facies which has been diagnosed with Hajdu Cheney syndrome and is currently receiving treatment from a multidisciplinary team.
