Abstract

Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare disease presenting in the newborn infant as localized areas of skin defect. In the majority of instances, this is limited to the scalp, although other areas of body may also be involved. Other congenital malformations have been reported to occur with aplasia cutis congenita. We observed a newborn infant with aplasia cutis congenita. The skin defect was found on the both lower legs without any other congenital malformations.
