Abstract
We present a case of a patient with achondroplasia, hemifacial microsomia and an fibroblast growth factor receptor3 c.138G>A mutation. An association between the 2 conditions has not been previously described, but there is biological plausibility that the etiology of the 2 conditions is linked.
