Abstract
Congenital cutaneous aplasia is a condition characterized by congenital absence of skin areas that can occur in any location. It is a rare disease, affecting both the sexes equally and its aetiology is unclear. The disorder is seen most frequently on the scalp. It has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, with variable inheritance, sometimes associated to other congenital defects and malformations. We present 4 cases of aplasia cutis congenital and review the clinical findings, aetiopathogenesis, evolution and therapy of the disease.
