Abstract
Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) in a symmetric, stellate pattern on the trunk or extremities is classically associated with a fetus papyraceus. We report symmetric truncal ACC in a neonate born of a sextuplet pregnancy that had been reduced to twins. This case highlights truncal ACC as a consequence of modern reproductive medicine.Entities:
