Abstract:
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita is an uncommon vascular malformation composed of capillary and venous sized vessels. It presents with a distinct reticulated pattern that is reminiscent of physiologic cutis marmorata however skin lesions do not resolve with warming of the skin surface. It may have a localized or generalized pattern on the skin. Associated anomalies occur in individuals with cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita the most commonly reported are limb asymmetry and the coexistence of other vascular birthmarks. Adams Oliver Syndrome and cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenital-macrocephaly syndrome are rare disorders that are associated with cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
