Aplasia cutis congenita: report of one case.
We present a female newborn with a skin defect on the vertex. Aplasia cutis congenita was diagnosed. No associated anomaly was found. There was no family or drug history noted. At one-year follow-up, the lesion tended to contract and became epithelialized. We report this case and also review the literature, and then we suggest a checklist for aplasia cutis congenita.
