“…The human tail is frequently encountered in males and is not inherited, but familial cases have been described in the literature where three generations of the same family were born with true tails [ 9 , 10 ]. However, in our case, there was no family history of human tails, and the male infant had a normal antenatal period.…”

A caudal cutaneous appendage known as the true human tail is a rare and benign condition. Different classification systems have been established, mostly based on the presence of associated spinal dysraphism. Imaging studies play an important role in detecting the prognosis and developing a management plan. Here, we present a rare case of a true human tail with no underlying spinal dysraphism in a preterm neonate.

“…Other pathologies to be ruled out include sacrococcygeal eversion, lipoma, fibrolipoma, sebaceous nevus, and lipoblastomatosis (11) . It is worth noting that segmental neurofibromatosis should be ruled out in the presence of café-au-lait spots (12) . Regarding treatment, surgical resection is indicated in case of excessive growth potentially causing further problems, locations with cosmetic implications, and diagnostic uncertainty.…”

Introduction. Skin lesions in close proximity to the lumbosacral region should be assessed in newborns, since they may be the first of hidden spinal dysraphism. Clinical case. We present the case of a newborn without significant prenatal history. On the first day of life, a 1 cm diameter nodular lesion was found at the lumbar level of the right paravertebral region, with a vascular stain surrounding the base of the lesion. Neurological examination was normal. A soft tissue ultrasonography was carried out. It showed no continuity with the lumbar spinal canal. As a result of the lesion increasingly growing, resection was decided upon six months later. Pathological examination confirmed diagnosis -Hoffmann-Zurhelle nevus.Discussion. Hoffmann-Zurhelle nevus is an infrequent cutaneous hamartomatous lesion in newborns. Treatment is always surgical in order to avoid potential growth-related complications.

“…Otros diagnósticos a descartar son: la eversión sacrococcígea, los lipomas, fibrolipomas, nevus sebáceos y la lipoblastomatosis (11) . Es importante destacar que la asociación de manchas café con leche debe hacernos descartar una neurofibromatosis segmentaria (12) . En cuanto al tratamiento, se considera de elección la resección quirúrgica de las lesiones, en caso de crecimiento excesivo que pueda ocasionar problemas secundarios del mismo, localizaciones que condicionen problemas estéticos o en caso de duda diagnóstica.…”

ResumenIntroducción. Las lesiones en la piel de los recién nacidos situadas en la proximidad de la región lumbosacra deben estudiarse, ya que, en ocasiones son la primera manifestación de un disrafismo espinal oculto.Caso clínico. Recién nacido sin antecedentes prenatales de interés. En su primer día de vida se observa una lesión nodular de un centímetro de diámetro situada en la región paravertebral derecha a nivel lumbar con una mancha vascular envolviendo la base de la lesión. Examen neurológico normal. Se realiza una ecografía de partes blandas donde no se evidencia continuidad con el canal medular lumbar. Seis meses más tarde debido al crecimiento progresivo de la lesión se decide su resección. La anatomía patológica confirma su diagnóstico: nevus de Hoffmann-Zurhelle.Comentarios. El nevus de Hoffmann-Zurhelle es una lesión cutánea hamartomatosa infrecuente en los recién nacidos. El tratamiento es siempre quirúrgico para evitar posibles complicaciones relacionadas con su crecimiento.
