Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1977 May;43(5):702-6. doi: 10.1016/0030-4220(77)90054-8.

Abstract

A unique case of enamel hypoplasia is presented. This appears to be the first case to be published in connection with the rare protein-losing enteropathy, intestinal lymphangiectasia. It seems likely that if the treatment of systemic disease is delayed, disruption of normal tooth formation is inevitable.
