Two cases of aplasia cutis congenita are presented. The first case was in a child with a localized defect on her scalp. The second case was in an adult male who had extensive symmetrical involvement of his trunk and thighs, two lesions on the scalp and dystrophic changes in his nails. Nail dystrophy associated with aplasia cutis congenita has been described only once previously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
