Congenital erosive and vesicular dermatosis: a new case and review of the literature.

Congenital erosive and vesicular dermatosis is a rare syndrome first described by Cohen et al in 1985. Most of the 18 cases published have been reported in premature newborns. Affected babies typically present with erosions and vesicles that tend to heal shortly after birth with reticulated scaring. We report an additional case, followed up for 5 years, in which we excluded a pathogenic mutation in the TP63 gene.
