Aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp.
J Surg Pak Jan ;14(4):187-8.

Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by localized or widespread areas of absence of skin. Scalp is the most common area involved. No definite etiology is known and multiple factors have been proposed. Our patient was a five days old male neonate who presented with absence of skin over a wide area of scalp with absent scalp bones. Dura formed the base. The lesion was circular and ulcerative with a size of 12 cms x 11 cms on vertex. Regular wound care was provided.
