Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders whose main feature is the focal absence of skin. It is a rare entity that affects both sexes equally and its etiology is still unclear. In most cases it occurs in the scalp, although other areas of the body may also be involved. Other congenital malformations have been reported in appearance with ACC, of which the limb defects appear to be a specific association.
