A Rare Case of Aplasia Cutis Congenita
Abstract
Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare anomaly presenting with the absence of skin. No definite etiology is available. The most common site is the scalp. We present an instance with ACC occurring symmetrically in both sides of the body from chest to flank.
