title: A case of aplasia cutis congenita in dizygotic twins.
abstract: We report a newborn infant with extensive aplasia cutis congenita of the flanks and thighs, associated with a co-twin fetus papyraceus. DNA restriction fragment polymorphism analysis of the twins proved dizygosity. The association of these two conditions in twins is reviewed.
