title: Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita with soft-tissue herniations on the lower legs.
abstract: Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita is a rare vascular anomaly, producing a flat or depressed reticular erythema of variable extent, giving rise to a marbled effect. There is a predilection for females, and there is a frequent association with other congenital anomalies, of which a large number and variety have been described. A female neonate is reported with cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita and two associated soft-tissue lesions on the anterior lower legs, which developed several weeks after birth. We believe these lesions, which have not been previously described, to be soft-tissue herniations with surrounding subcutaneous tissue atrophy.
