Abstract

Abstract Anderson and Novy1 recently recorded 4 cases of a peculiar congenital defect of the scalp, thus publishing the second article on this subject in the American literature.

She was brought by her parents for treatment of a patch of alopecia which she had had on the vertex since birth.She presented on the vertex a round bald scleroderma-like plaque, 3 cm. in diameter, ivory white, smooth, polished and shiny. On palpation, this plaque was adherent to the underlying aponeurosis and somewhat depressed below the surface. On this area it was References 1. Anderson, N. P., and Novy, F.
