Abstract
We described an unusual combination of fibroblastic connective nevus (FCTN) already present at birth with underlying vascular anomalies. Overall, the lesion appeared as a large purplish-brown mass in the groin region up to the third of the right thigh, with partial spontaneous regression during the first three months of life. The FCTN observed exhibited several unusual characteristics: it was congenital, large in size, and located in the lower limbs. Finally, it represented the first case described in which an FCTN arose in association with vascular anomalies.
