Abstract:
This study was performed to investigate the rate of occurrence of neonatal birthmarks and their clinical features. From October 1982 to September l983, 1,035 newborn babies were examined in the Keimyung University Dongsan Medical center and the results were summarized as follows. The main nevi in the newborn were salmon patch (28 9%), portwine stain (0.3%), strawberry mark (0.4%), pigmented lesions (1.0%) and mongolian spot (81. 2%). The salmon patch was present most frequently on the nape but no particular predilection sites were noted in portwine stain, strawberry mark and pigmented lesions. The mongolian spot developed on the sacral portion, buttocks and lower back, in decreasing order.
