Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita: report of one case.
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita is an uncommon, congenital cutaneous lesion. It is usually present at birth, and is characterized by persistent fixed, flat, blue-violet cutaneous marmorata, telangiectasia, and phlebectasia. Frequently, there is associated skin atrophy and ulceration. There is an association with other abnormalities in at least 50% of the patients with cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita. Thus, obtaining a thorough history and detailed physical examination are needed. We present a 38-day-old female infant with cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, with uneven growth of bilateral lower limbs, and review the literature on this rare lesion.
