To verify the diagnostic value of lumbosacral midline cutaneous lesions in asymptomatic children to detect occult spinal dysraphism (OSD) and to propose a practical approach for clinical investigations with respect to the type of cutaneous lesions observed.Design: Retrospective study of 54 children referred to the Department of Pediatric Dermatology between 1990 and 1999 for congenital midline lumbosacral cutaneous lesions.Setting: The private or institutional practices of participating dermatologists and pediatricians.Main Outcome Measures: Evaluation of the diagnostic value of midline cutaneous lesions for the detec-tion of OSD. Association of skin examination findings with spinal anomalies detected by magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound.Results: Occult spinal dysraphism was detected in 3 of 36 patients with an isolated congenital midline lesion and 11 of 18 patients with a combination of 2 or more different skin lesions.Conclusions: A combination of 2 or more congenital midline skin lesions is the strongest marker of OSD. Careful dermatologic examination is needed to detect suggestive markers and request a spinal magnetic resonance image, which is the most sensitive radiologic approach to detect an OSD.

“…Chondrosarcomas occurring in 30% of patients is the commonest. Other malignant mesodermal tumors reported are fibrosarcomas, angiosarcomas, lymphangiosarcomas and osteosarcomas (6). Clinical examination findings, ultrasound imaging, and X-ray findings suggested presence of hemangiomas, endochordoma like lesions in mentioned limbs of the patient and helped in diagnosis of Maficci's syndrome.…”
