Adams-Oliver syndrome, intestinal obstruction and heart defects: a case series of aplasia cutis congenita.

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital defect described by the absence of skin and occasionally subcutaneous tissues or bone. The management of ACC varies depending on the lesion size, location and associated abnormalities. Small lesions often heal spontaneously, whereas larger lesions are significant and usually associated with additional anomalies in other organs. This paper reports three cases, which describe large lesions of ACC, presented with other abnormalities (Adams-Oliver syndrome, intestinal obstruction and heart defect). Particular attention should be paid to the patient with large lesions of ACC to investigate more congenital anomalies.
