CONGENITAL LOCALIZED ABSENCE OF SKIN : A REPORT OF ONE CASE
Congenital skin defect is a rare entity even among the integument anomalies. The author had the opportunity of carefully observing a newborn with this anomaly at birth and covering the wound with free skin graft early in life. As the results of treatment proved to be better than originally expected, the author would like to report on the characteristics of this entity and review some of the literature.
