Persistent congenital milia with naevus spilus

Area of Science:

• Dermatology
• Congenital Disorders

Background:

• Congenital milia are benign, keratin-filled cysts that can occur in newborns.
• While typically self-resolving, persistent or atypical presentations warrant investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

• To report a rare case of solitary persistent left-sided endoareolar congenital milia.
• To document associated findings and emphasize the absence of other major congenital anomalies.

Main Methods:

• Clinical observation and case reporting.
• Dermatological examination and photographic documentation.

Main Results:

• A single, persistent congenital milium was identified in the left areolar region.
• A naevus spilus was noted on the ipsilateral forearm.
• No other significant congenital malformations or structural abnormalities were detected.

Conclusions:

• Solitary persistent endoareolar congenital milia can occur without significant associated abnormalities.
• The presence of a naevus spilus may be an incidental finding in such cases.
• This case highlights the importance of thorough examination even in seemingly isolated findings.
