Abstract:
Aplasia cutis congenita(ACC) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a well-demarcated skin defect. In the majority of cases it is limited to the scalp especially on the vertex although other areas of the body may also be involved. We report a case of aplasia cutis congenita, in a month-old female infant born with a round shaped hairless transparent menbrane on the left temporal area of the scalp. No associated other congenital anomalies were in this case.
