Aplasia cutis is a rare malformation characterized by localized absence of epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Muscle and bone tissues beneath the lesion may rarely be hypoplastic or aplastic as well. Eighty-five percent of aplasia cutis cases are found in the scalp and fifteen percent of all cases involve other locations. Here, a 3 year old girl who has a recently detected abdominal muscle hypoplasia during evaluation of abdominal hernia beneath an aplasia cutis lesion is presented.
