Congenital linear ulcerative and scarring lesions associated with fetus papyraceus. Unilateral aplasia cutis congenita type V?

Abstract

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is rarely caused by obvious causes. An exception is ACC associated with fetus papyraceus, i.e. death in utero of a twin and in these cases the ACC that occurs in the surviving twin is attributed to hemodynamic disorders. An exceptional unilateral case of ACC associated with fetus papyraceus is presented.
