Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare cutaneous condition in newborns. The lesions form a red or purplish network, sometimes with dilated veins and atrophic areas. Multiple malformations may be associated with it, in particular in infants with macrocephaly. These cutaneous lesions may improve, disappear or remain stable. The appearance is characteristic and diagnosis is based on the clinical picture.

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.
