Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Vascular Malformations
  • Pediatric Conditions

Background:

  • Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is an uncommon congenital vascular malformation.
  • It is characterized by a persistent reticulated (marbled) skin pattern, distinct from transient physiologic cutis marmorata.
  • Lesions may be localized or generalized and do not resolve with warming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical characteristics of Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita.
  • To highlight associated anomalies and rare syndromes linked to CMTC.

Main Methods:

  • This abstract is based on a review of existing literature and case reports.
  • Clinical presentation and associated conditions are summarized.

Main Results:

  • CMTC presents as a reticulated vascular pattern involving capillary and venous vessels.
  • Commonly associated anomalies include limb asymmetry and other vascular birthmarks.
  • Rarely, CMTC is associated with Adams Oliver Syndrome and CMTC-macrocephaly syndrome.

Conclusions:

  • Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita is a distinct vascular malformation with characteristic skin findings.
  • Awareness of associated anomalies and syndromes is crucial for comprehensive patient management.
