DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Didymosis aplasticosebacea denotes the very rare concordant coincidence of aplasia cutis circumscripta with a nevus sebaceus.
Happle compiled 15 cases from the literature in 2001. The total published number of this syndrome is probably < 20 cases.

Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.

Didymosis, a special form of a cutaneous mosaic, is defined as twin spots (or didymosis; from didymos = twin), which are defined as the paired occurrence of mutated areas. These differ both from each other and from the surrounding heterozygous tissue.
