ABSTRACT
Las verrugas vulgares son proliferaciones epiteliales benignas, causadas por la infección del virus papiloma humano. Suelen afectar a niños y adolescentes comprometiendo frecuentemente manos y rodillas. Existen múltiples tratamientos pero ninguno infalible, y si bien se preconiza la conducta expectante, existen casos en los que se debe realizar tratamiento. Presentamos el caso de un escolar de sexo masculino con verruga umbilical, una localización infrecuente, tratada exitosamente con electrocoagulación.
Common warts are benign epithelial growths caused by infection with human papillomavirus. They usually affect children and adolescents often compromising hands and knees. There are many treatments but none infallible, and while it is recommended an expectant behaviour, there are cases in which treatment should be performed. We report the case of a 12 year old white male with an umbilical wart, an unusual localization, treated successfully with electrocoagulation.

La Aplasia Cutis Congénita, es un grupo heterogéneo de alteraciones que consisten en la falta congénita localizada o extensa, de piel, que puede acompañarse de ausencia de estructuras subyacentes. Su apariencia clínica es variable y su origen es multifactorial. Presentamos el caso de un recién nacido con Aplasia Cutis Congénita, sin antecedentes familiares de esta enfermedad ni historia de uso materno de drogas, en quien no se constataron hallazgos extracutáneos.
