Two cases of aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) are reported. They are unusual in that they are presented in the lower extremities, showed blistering and were familial in nature. These lesions tend to heal without surgical intervention and with minimal scarring; thus the patient can usually be assured of a happy outcome. The belief that either a special entity within ACC or an entirely different syndrome is being dealt with is supported.
