ABSTRACT
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare congenital disorder with persistent cutis marmorata, telengiectasia, and phlebectesia, which may be associated with cutaneaus atrophy and ulceration of the involved skin. We herewith report a three month old male baby with CMTC at birth involving left side of the face, upper limbs, both flanks, and left gluteal and left leg with ulceration over the extensor aspects of the left knee joint. The baby had a reticulated bluish purple skin changes all over the body including the face and limb. Although it resembled physiological cutis marmorata, it was strikingly pronounced and defi n i t e ly was unvarying and permanent. A variety of vascular malformation has been described along with this disorder. Etiology is not very clear. Prognoses in uncomplicated cases are good.
