Abstract (2. Language): 
The CREST syndrome refers to the manifestations of calcinosis, Raynaud’s phenomenon, esophageal involvement, sclerodactily and telengiectasisas. Onset during childhood is very uncommon and fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the literature. We describe a 9-year-5 month girl diagnosed as CREST syndrome whose symptoms were present since 1-year-old. Since that time she had been followed as growth failure.This patient points out that growth retardation in childhood may be the initial manifestation of CREST syndrome.
