title: Congenital anetoderma in a preterm infant.
abstract: Isolated, small lesions of anetoderma presenting at birth have been reported in twins born at 25 weeks of gestational age. We report the first case of widespread congenital anetoderma occurring in an infant born at 24 weeks of gestation weighing 640 g and discuss the potential factors in its etiology.
