Femoral hypoplasia-unusual facies syndrome (FH-UFS), also known as femoral-facial syndrome, is an extremely rare condition. The diagnostic criteria for this entity include: femoral hypoplasia in association with facial dysmorphism. Its pathogenesis is unknown. However, it has been associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus during pregnancy. The present is a case of a pregnant woman with type-2 diabetes mellitus with a 17-year disease course without associated complications. The first-trimester screening ultrasound study revealed a female fetus with micrognathia and low-set ears.
