Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita and extensive mongolian spots: type 5 phacomatosis pigmentovascularis

Br J Dermatol. 2003 Feb;148(2):342-5. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2133.2003.05118.x.

Abstract

Two patients with an unusual association of extensive cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita and aberrant mongolian spots are reported. We believe that such association is best explained as a phenomenon of non-allelic twin spotting. We found only one previous similar case in a textbook, and we support the classification of this condition as phacomatosis pigmentovascularis type V.
