Born in the Purple: An Exceptional Case of Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita

Abstract

A full-term, 2-day-old female neonate with a congenital non-tender reticular patch that did not disappear with local warming was referred to our department for consultation. The family history as well as the antenatal course and delivery were unremarkable. On examination, we evidenced a fixed, marbled, bluish to deep purple lesion with a fishnet appearance extending over the right side of her body, face, and scalp. There was presence of atrophy of the involved skin, along with ulceration above the right lateral malleolus. Upon blanching, the lesions could not be emptied completely
