A Cases of Aplasia cutis Congenita

Abstract

Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare disease presenting in the newborn infant as localized areas of skin defect. Its association with a number of congenital malformations is well documented. I observed a newborn infant with typical aplasia cutis congenita. The skin defect of my case was found on the posterior fontanelle without any congenital malformation. Diagnosis was made by history, clinical and histopathological findings.
