Abstract
A full-term, 2-day-old female neonate with a congenital
non-tender reticular patch that did not disappear
with local warming was referred to our department
for consultation. The family history as well as the
antenatal course and delivery were unremarkable.
On examination, we evidenced a fixed, marbled,
bluish to deep purple lesion with a fishnet appearance
extending over the right side of her body, face,
and scalp. There was presence of atrophy of the involved
skin, along with ulceration above the right lateral
malleolus. Upon blanching, the lesions could not
be emptied completely.
