title: Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (congenital generalized phlebectasia).
abstract: Thirteen original examples of cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita are presented and the English literature is reviewed. CMTC is a benign, distinct congenital cutaneous anomaly manifested by a reticulate vascular pattern at birth, which frequently improves with age, and may be associated with other abnormalities in at least 50% of the patients. Our data suggest that in contrast to previous reports, the sex distribution is equal, and the condition as a whole is more prevalent than previously recognized.
