We present an update of disorders in which aplasia cutis congenita is a feature. Localization of the lesion, important other features, and possible etiology are tabulated. Disorders are classified as chromosomal, monogenic, teratological/exogenous, and unknown. Points of particular interest in history taking and examination of patients with aplasia cutis congenita are presented.
Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare disorder characterized by localized absence of skin at birth. Type V in Frieden's classification, which is associated with fetus papyraceous or placental infarcts, occurs as a large cutaneous defect on the trunk and extremities. The patient we report had a lesion affecting the trunk and extremities symmetrically, with no family history of the disorder or chromosomal abnormalities. In our opinion, despite the absence of fetus papyraceous or placental infarct, this patient's condition can be classified as type V.
