Abstract:
We report a case of homologous skin transplantation from a stillborn twin to the surviving twin for coverage of a myelomeningocele defect. Genetic studies were not available preoperatively, however, similar morphogenetic anomalies of the twins suggested monozygosity. Long-term follow-up revealed a well-healed graft. Cutaneous genetics and literature review of twin homologous skin transplantation are presented.
