EPIDERMAL NEVI AND BULLOUS APLASIA-CUTIS-CONGENITA IN A NEONATE

The case of a neonate with cutaneous lesions consistent with epidermal naevi is presented. In addition to typical epidermal naevi, this baby had an unusual, bullous form of aplasia cutis congenita. Although apl asia cutis has been described as bullous and has been found in associa tion with the epidermal naevus syndrome, both of these occurrences are rare in medical publications. This case illustrates an unusual presen tation of epidermal naevi with bullous aplasia cutis congenita and rai ses difficult diagnostic and counselling issues.
