J Dermatol Case Rep. 2012 Jun 30;6(2):40-2. doi: 10.3315/jdcr.2012.1096.

Abstract

Background: Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a congenital absence of skin, and a single alopecic lesion on the scalp is the most common form.

Main observation: We present a case of ACC with tetralogy of Fallot-A. Differetial diagnosis included Adams-Oliver syndrome and nevus psiloliparus. Interestingly, our patient showed multiple ACC lesions, which were located along Blaschko's lines.

Conclusions: As far as we know, our case is the third case of ACC with tetralogy of Fallot-A. Also, this is the first case of ACC associated with Blaschko's lines.

Keywords: Adams-Oliver syndrome; alopecia; cardiovascular disease; hair loss; scalp.
