Abstract

Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis of cesioflammea type is characterized by the presence of a superficial capillary vascular malformation that coexists on the same skin surface with dermal melanocytosis or nevus anemicus. In turn, this entity may be associated with alterations of a systemic nature, especially of the central nervous system. Its incidence and prevalence are unknown due to its low frequency; however, it is of great importance for health professionals involved in newborn care. The case of a newborn of 5 days of life is described below, who was born with a large blue-greyish macule superimposed on an erythematous-violet macule that affected the trunk and extremities, respecting the face, palms and soles. The final diagnosis was made based on the clinic and the ordered paraclinics, where it was ruled out an extracutaneous involvement by means of cerebral magnetic resonance and total contrasted spine, fundoscopy and ocular ultrasound.
