Cutis marmorata/Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita.

Abstract

The term cutis marmorata is used to indicate both a physiological reaction to the cold occurring in many babies and sometimes even in older children and a persistent capillary-venous malformation. The latter is mostly visible at birth, when necrotic and ulcerative lesions can be associated, and then improves in decades. The different prognosis calls for a differential diagnosis between the two conditions.
