Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital disorder that commonly affects the scalp. In this disease, some parts of the skin with or without underlying structures were not formed at birth. The aplastic lesion always presents as a solitary lesion; however, multiple lesions also were reported. In more severe cases, deeper structures, such as the subcutaneous tissue, bone, and dura, can be affected. In this study, we report a case of ACC and its management.

Abstract Background : Fibrofolliculoma is a benign, perifollicular, connective tissue tumor, and it usually arises in the form of multiple lesions, but rarely as a solitary lesion. We report a case of solitary fibrofolliculoma on the eyelid. Case presentation: A 68-year-old female presented with an asymptomatic mass on the right upper eyelid. The lesion appeared as a flesh-colored, dome-shaped, smooth nodule being the size of 5×5×4 mm, with eyelashes protruding from the surface, and located on the upper lid margin. Shave excision was performed, and the diagnosis of fibrofolliculoma was confirmed finally through histological exam. Conclusions: Solitary fibrofolliculomas rarely arises on the eyelid. However, it should be suspected when a flesh-colored and doom-shaped lesion of the eyelid is encountered. The benign tumor on the lid margin can be removed by shave biopsy.

Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia cutis congenita is an uncommon localized or widespread congenital skin condition characterized by the absence of the skin, and occasionally underlying tissues occurs in about one every 10.000 birth mostly in the scalp as single or more than one lesion and sometimes occurs in extremities and trunk with an uncertain cause and can be associated with numerous syndromes or can be sporadic which is diagnosed clinically and usually conservatively managed but sometimes surgical intervention needed. In this literature, we present nonsyndromic newborn Malay girl normally delivered with 35 weeks gestational age with triplet skin raw areas at the vertex of the scalp with well-demarcated defect round in shape measured about 0.5 in radius covered with a noninflammatory, necrotic patch. To our knowledge, many works of literatures presented Aplasia cutis congenita at the scalp with solitary single or occasionally more than one skin defect. In contrast, in our case, we present an infrequent rare case of triplet skin defect of aplasia cutis congenita for nonsyndromic newborns.

Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia Cutis Congenita (ACC) is a rare condition characterized by congenital absence of epidermis, dermis and, in some cases, like this one, subcutaneous tissue and bone. It usually involves the scalp vertex. The estimated incidence is 3 in 10,000 births resulting in a total number of 500 reported cases till nowadays. The lesion can occur on everybody surface, but scalp is the most affected region (70% of the cases). In about 20% of cases there is bone lesion. ACC can occur as an isolated defect or can be associated with a number of other congenitally anomalies such as limb anomalies or embryologic malformations. In patients with large scalp and skull defects, there is increased risk of infection and bleeding along with increased mortality and therefore prompt and effective management is advised. Case presentation: We describe a child with ACC involving almost all skull, where it could be seen the brain only with arachnoid membrane. At presentation there was no Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) leakage. And it was managed surgically. The child was operated on one time. It was covered with non-absorbable matrix and the skin was approached. Conclusion: There are multiple treatments for this condition. But there is no consensus on treatment strategies. Conservative treatment can be tried, especially when there is no bone lesion. The treatment must be individualized for each case.
