“…This crusts over shortly after birth forming a fine depressed hairless scar, similar to the scalp lesions in Case 21, though the nodular lesions in our other patients are much larger and raised. The histological picture of our patients' lesions was not that of keloid scar tissue, which has been described in areas of congenital defects ofthe scalp (Moschella, 1962). However, the history ofthe patients being born with a 'raw scalp' area which later heals over suggests that the scalp lesion may be a variant of CLAS.…”

“…However, it is not only the surface that was different in our patients but also the location, the irregular shape, and the absence of a hair collar. There is at least one report of two characteristic, oval punched‐out lesions of aplasia cutis, that healed with keloid formation (24). In these patients, despite the keloidal scar, one could still recognize the clinical features of membranous aplasia cutis such as the oval shape, size, and location (24).…”

Aplasia cutis of the scalp is often a sporadic condition, but familial occurrences with an autosomal dominant inheritance have been documented. Aplasia cutis of the scalp may be seen in two main clinical variants: oval-shaped membranous aplasia cutis and irregular, larger defects. We report six families in whom more than one member has aplasia cutis of the scalp, all of them with large irregular defects located over the vertex or anterior to the vertex along the sagittal suture. We review previous reports of this entity with clinical pictures and note that in most instances, the defects are of the nonmembranous variant.

“…In 11 pedigrees (1, 5, 6, 21, 26, 28, 31, 38, this report) only siblings were reported as affected; in most of these reports parents were not examined. In three pedigrees, numerous first cousins were affected through their parents who were unaffected siblings (18,26). There were 22 publications of one or more sporadic cases, including our own.…”

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a heterogeneous group of disorders whose common characteristic is focal absence of skin. In the majority of instances this is limited to the scalp, although other areas of the body may also be involved. Other congenital malformations have been reported to occur with ACC; limb defects appear to be a specific association. Given our experience with ACC, we suggest a classification based on genetically distinct entities. Type I ACC is limited to the scalp. Type II involves body or scalp; IIA involves body or limb defects. Type III is limited to the scalp or limbs. Type IV is associated with epidermolysis bullosa; type IVA is Bart syndrome. Although most reported cases have been sporadic, there are many familial occurrences of all types of ACC. Most published pedigrees are consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance, or autosomal recessive inheritance. Careful examination of family members of affected individuals is warranted.
