Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cutis marmorata telangiectatic congenital or Van Lohuizen syndrome is a rare vascular disorder that may be associated with other congenital malformations. Around 300 cases have been reported so far.

CASE REPORT: We present a 4-year-old girl with Van Lohuizen syndrome of the leg, but without any other malformations.

CONCLUSION: Neonatal lupus erythematosus may resemble congenital vasculopathy, but histopathology and immune-serology are characteristic.
