Abstract
- Congenital skin aplasia, known more as aplasia cutis congenita (ACC), is a rare congenital disease, characterized by absence of the skin, observed since birth, more often affecting the scalp and rarely the trunk or limbs. We report here for the first time a non-syndromic localized ACC, characterized by a small solitary area of skin atrophy on the cervical area in a healthy 3-day-old female infant.
