ABSTRACT
Aplasia cutis congenita(ACC) is a rare skin condition in which localized or widespread areas of skin are absent at birth. Clinically, lesions usually appear circular or oval, sharply outlined ulcer, resulting in healing with scarring. The most common site of this condition is scalp, especially on the vertex although other areas of the body may also be involved. Other congenital malformations have been associated with aplasia cutis congenita. Herein we report a 6-year-old male infant with round, well-marginated, smooth surfaced, brownish scar about 2 cm diameter on the vertex of scalp. The lesion was erythematous, crusted ulcer at the time of birth. Histopathologic finding of the lesion showed flattening and thinning of epidermis, fibrosis in the dermis and the absence of adnexal structures except single immature hair follicle.
