title: Aplasia cutis congenita associated with syndactyly and supernumerary nipples: report of a second family with similar clinical findings.
abstract: Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare disorder characterized by localized absence of skin at birth. A subtype consisting of a solitary scalp defect in association with limb abnormalities has been described. We report a case of ACC in association with 3,4 syndactyly and supernumerary nipples with an apparent autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
