Article Synopsis
  • Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare capillary malformation that causes a persistent reticular and purplish skin appearance, and the text discusses two cases of CMTC.
  • The first case is of a 13-month-old boy with a specific skin lesion and a biopsy showing mast cells, confirming CMTC and a solitary skin tumor, while the second case is a newborn with a CMTC lesion who later developed other tumors.
  • CMTC is generally benign, but it may coexist with other conditions, so medical assessments should check for additional malformations related to the condition.

Article Synopsis
  • Autosomal dominant skin disorders can exhibit pronounced mosaic involvement in neonates, stemming from early loss of heterozygosity in the embryo shortly after fertilization.
  • Some syndromes, like Brooke-Spiegler and Hornstein-Knickenberg, show early-onset symptoms that can foreshadow later, more widespread manifestations of the disorder.
  • Conditions like glomangiomatosis and Darier disease demonstrate that neonatal mosaic lesions can be early indicators of nonsegmental skin issues emerging much later in life.

Article Synopsis
  • - Darier disease (DD) is a rare genetic skin disorder caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene, characterized by skin lesions, nail abnormalities, and mucosal changes.
  • - A case study of a 40-year-old woman revealed pruritic skin lesions concentrated on one side of her body, leading to a diagnosis of localized segmental DD after a biopsy showed characteristic cell changes.
  • - The condition typically appears between ages 6 and 20 and presents with crusty, itchy papules; it results from calcium imbalance and loss of cell adhesion due to impaired ATP2A2 gene function.
