The association between vitamin-D-resistant rickets and linear sebaceous naevus syndrome is extremely rare. Only eight cases have been described in the English literature and in none were the skeletal aspects addressed. We present three new cases and describe the musculoskeletal features. The details and outcome of surgery for correction of the deformities are discussed. The disturbances of metabolism of vitamin D and the effects of pharmacological treatment are also described.
