title: Aplasia cutis congenita associated with a lipoma.
abstract: Aplasia cutis congenita is a condition that can present with a wide variety of symptoms and many attempts have been made to classify it comprehensively. This report presents the first case of a child with aplasia cutis congenita confirmed on histology with an associated lipoma or lipomatosis directly underlying it. It exemplifies the difficulty in diagnosing and treating this rare condition.
