    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pediatrics
    • Congenital Disorders

    Context:

    • Review of 15 pediatric cases of Aplasia Cutis Congenita (ACC) from 1971-1977.
    • Data collected from the Department of Pediatric Dermatology at Hospital del Niño DIF.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the clinical characteristics and associated malformations of ACC in a pediatric cohort.
    • To analyze the frequency, location, and symmetry of ACC lesions.

    Summary:

    • Aplasia Cutis Congenita (ACC) affected males and females equally, with scalp lesions being most frequent.
    • Lesions were typically solitary and symmetrical when multiple. No family history or obstetric trauma correlation was found.
    • Fourteen cases presented with epithelialized lesions; one had ulcerated lesions. Associated malformations involved cutaneous, neurological, ocular, and osseous systems.

    Impact:

    • Provides valuable epidemiological and clinical data on Aplasia Cutis Congenita in pediatric patients.
    • Highlights the common presentation and associated anomalies, aiding in diagnosis and management.
    • Contributes to the understanding of congenital skin defects and their broader implications.
