title: Aplasia cutis congenita with epidermolysis bullosa: a case report.
abstract: A child with epidermolysis bullosa and aplasia cutis congenita is presented. This is a very rare condition that represents an unusual manifestation of epidermolysis bullosa. Management of aplasia cutis congenita is controversial and may be conservative, surgical, or a combination of the two. In this patient, surgical treatment with split-thickness skin grafts failed, and conservative treatment using silver-sulfadiazine cream dressings was instituted.
