Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita with skin ulceration: a rare benign skin vascular malformation

Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a sporadic congenital disorder characterised by localised or generalised cutaneous vascular anomaly. CMTC was first described in 1922 by Van Lohuizen as a pattern of reticulate erythema and telangiectasia infrequently associated with skin atrophy and/or ulceration.1 It is a rare benign skin lesion that is often apparent at birth with more than 50% of patients with CMTC having variations of associated defects. Body asymmetry is the most common (33%) associated anomaly reported.1

A 5-day-old female baby was born at term following an uneventful pregnancy. At birth, she weighed 2800 g, and her growth profile was appropriate for her age.
