Abstract
ABSTRACT Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) is a rare congenital syndrome and subclassification of oculoectodermal syndrome. Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis may be associated with postzygotic mutations. However, absence of an identifiable mutation does not preclude a diagnosis of ECCL. Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis commonly causes skin, eye, and central nervous system anomalies. Diagnosis can be made through genetic sequencing or standardized clinical criteria. One clinically apparent major criterion for the diagnosis of ECCL is nevus psiloliparus (NP), a fatty nevus with overlying nonscarring alopecia. In this case, a 50-day-old female infant with uncomplicated birth history presented to dermatology clinic for evaluation of 2 superficial cranial masses that had been present since birth without regression or evolution. One of the masses was located within the hairline and demonstrated overlying nonscarring alopecia, suspicious of NP. Because of concern for ECCL, brain magnetic resonance imaging was ordered and revealed 2 intracranial lipomas. Genetic testing was inconclusive. Excision of the masses was performed at the request of the parents for cosmetic purposes. Histologic evaluation of the surgical specimens confirmed the diagnosis of NP and ECCL. A suspected NP should raise concern for ECCL and prompt further evaluation for systemic involvement. In particular, patients with suspected ECCL should be screened for ocular and CNS involvement. Early identification and diagnosis are important for prognostication because patients with ECCL are at increased risk of developing neoplasms of the head and neck and may require more frequent screening examinations.

Abstract
Mosaic mutations in genes GNAQ or GNA11 lead to a spectrum of diseases including Sturge-Weber syndrome and phakomatosis pigmentovascularis with dermal melanocytosis. The pathognomonic finding of localized "tramlining" on plain skull radiography, representing medium-sized neurovascular calcification and associated with postnatal neurological deterioration, led us to study calcium metabolism in a cohort of 42 children. In this study, we find that 74% of patients had at least one abnormal measurement of calcium metabolism, the commonest being moderately low serum ionized calcium (41%) or high parathyroid hormone (17%). Lower levels of ionized calcium even within the normal range were significantly associated with seizures, and with specific antiepileptics despite normal vitamin D levels. Successive measurements documented substantial intrapersonal fluctuation in indices over time, and DEXA scans were normal in patients with hypocalcemia. Neurohistology from epilepsy surgery in five patients revealed not only intravascular, but perivascular and intraparenchymal mineral deposition and intraparenchymal microvascular disease in addition to previously reported findings. Neuroradiology review clearly demonstrated progressive calcium deposition in individuals over time. These findings and those of the adjoining paper suggest that calcium deposition in the brain of patients with GNAQ/GNA11 mosaicism may not be a nonspecific sign of damage as was previously thought, but may instead reflect the central postnatal pathological process in this disease spectrum.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neurocutaneous syndromes (NCS) are a heterogeneous group of conditions with multiorgan involvement and diverse manifestations, evolving throughout life with significant morbidity. A multidisciplinary approach to NCS patients has been advocated, although a specific model is not yet established. The aim of this study was 1) to describe the organization of the recently created Multidisciplinary Outpatient Clinic of Neurocutaneous Diseases (MOCND) at a Portuguese pediatric tertiary hospital; 2) to share our institutional experience focusing on the most common conditions, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC); 3) to analyze the advantages of a multidisciplinary center and approach in NCS. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 281 patients enrolled in the MOCND over the first five years of activity (October 2016 to December 2021), reviewing genetics, family history, clinical features, complications, and therapeutic strategies for NF1 and TSC. RESULTS The clinic works weekly with a core team of pediatricians and pediatric neurologists supported by other specialties as needed. Of the 281 patients enrolled, 224 (79.7%) had identifiable syndromes such as NF1 (n = 105), TSC (n = 35), hypomelanosis of Ito (n = 11), Sturge-Weber syndrome (n = 5), and others. In NF1 patients, 41.0% had a positive family history, all manifested café-au-lait macules, 38.1% neurofibromas with 45.0% being large plexiform neurofibromas. Sixteen were under treatment with selumetinib. Genetic testing was performed in 82.9% of TSC patients with pathogenic variants found in TSC2 gene in 72.4% patients (82.7% if considered contiguous gene syndrome). Family history was positive in 31.4%. All TSC patients presented hypomelanotic macules and fulfilled diagnostic criteria. Fourteen patients were being treated with mTOR inhibitors. CONCLUSION Offering a systematic and multidisciplinary approach to NCS patients enables timely diagnosis, promotes a structured follow-up, and encourages discussion to outline management plans for optimal care to every patient, with significant impact on the quality of life of patients and families.

Abstract
The fibroblast growth factor receptors comprise a family of related but individually distinct tyrosine kinase receptors. Within this family, FGFR2 is a key regulator in many biological processes, e.g., cell proliferation, tumorigenesis, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Heterozygous activating non-mosaic germline variants in FGFR2 have been linked to numerous autosomal dominantly inherited disorders including several craniosynostoses and skeletal dysplasia syndromes. We report on a girl with cutaneous nevi, ocular malformations, macrocephaly, mild developmental delay, and the initial clinical diagnosis of Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome, a very rare mosaic neurocutaneous disorder caused by postzygotic missense variants in HRAS, KRAS, and NRAS. Exome sequencing of blood and affected skin tissue identified the mosaic variant c.1647=/T > G p.(Asn549=/Lys) in FGFR2, upstream of the RAS signaling pathway. The variant is located in the tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR2 in a region that regulates the activity of the receptor and structural mapping and functional characterization revealed that it results in constitutive receptor activation. Overall, our findings indicate FGFR2-associated neurocutaneous syndrome as the accurate clinical-molecular diagnosis for the reported individual, and thereby expand the complex genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of FGFR-associated disorders. We conclude that molecular analysis of FGFR2 should be considered in the genetic workup of individuals with the clinical suspicion of a mosaic neurocutaneous condition, as the knowledge of the molecular cause might have relevant implications for genetic counseling, prognosis, tumor surveillance and potential treatment options.

Abstract
Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) is a rare neurocutaneous disorder caused by somatic FGFR1 and KRAS variants. It shares significant phenotypic overlap with several closely related disorders caused by mutations in the RAS-MAPK pathway (mosaic RASopathies). We report a diagnostically challenging case of ECCL in which next-generation sequencing of affected tissue identified a pathologic FGFR1 p.K656E variant, thereby establishing a molecular diagnosis. Patients with FGFR1-associated ECCL carry a risk of developing malignant brain tumors; thus, genetic testing of patients with suspected ECCL has important management implications.

Abstract
Importance Neurocutaneous disorders have significant implications for care of the pregnant patient. As neurocutaneous disorders are uncommon, obstetricians may be unfamiliar with these disorders and with recommendations for appropriate care of this population. Objective This review aims to summarize existing literature on the interaction between neurocutaneous disorders and pregnancy and to provide a guide for physicians caring for an affected patient. Evidence Acquisition A PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar search was carried out with a broad range of combinations of the medical subject headings (MeSH) terms "pregnancy," "Sturge -Weber," "Neurofibromatosis Type 1," "neurofibromatosis type 2," "von Hippel Lindau," "Tuberous Sclerosis," "neurocutaneous disorder," "treatment," "congenital malformations," "neurodevelopmental defects," "miscarriage," "breastfeeding," "autoimmune," "pathophysiology," and "management." References of included articles were searched to identify any articles that may have been missed after the above method was used. Results Neurocutaneous disorders are associated with increased pregnancy-associated maternal and fetal/neonatal morbidity, largely surrounding hypertensive disorders, epilepsy, and medication exposure. Some features of neurocutaneous disorders may be worsened or accelerated by pregnancy. Neurocutaneous disorders can often be diagnosed prenatally. Therefore, directed assessment should be offered to affected individuals with a personal or family history of a neurocutaneous disorder. Conclusion and Relevance Patients affected by neurocutaneous disorders who are pregnant or planning for future pregnancy should be carefully followed by a multidisciplinary team, which could include maternal-fetal medicine, neurology, and anesthesia, as well as other relevant subspecialists. Additional research is required regarding optimal counseling and management of these patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present the rare occurrence of choroidal melanoma in an adult patient with phakomatosis pigmentovascularis and an overlap of Sturge-Weber syndrome and Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. METHODS Observational case report. RESULTS A 75-year-old White woman with nevus flammeus involving the left forehead, periorbital area, cheek, chin, upper limb, and trunk, along with hemihypertrophy of the left side of the face and left upper limb, presented for evaluation of an intraocular mass in the left eye. Anterior examination of the left eye showed diffuse episcleral and iris melanocytosis. Fundus examination of the left eye showed diffuse choroidal melanocytosis and an elevated choroidal lesion. B-scan ultrasonography demonstrated a hollow lesion, and the patient was diagnosed with choroidal melanoma in the left eye in the setting of phakomatosis pigmentovascularis with overlap of Sturge-Weber syndrome and Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy confirmed the diagnosis, and Iodine 125 plaque radiotherapy was performed. CONCLUSION Individuals with clinical features suggestive of phakomatosis pigmentovascularis, Sturge-Weber syndrome, or Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome should undergo a complete ophthalmological evaluation for the presence of ocular melanocytosis and uveal melanoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: To determine the minimum criteria for early diagnosing PHACE(S) syndrome in neonates and infants with infantile hemangioma (IH) in the max¬illofacial area. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: A total of 26 asymptomatic children from 20 days to six months of aged with IH of more than 5 cm² in the maxillofacial area were included in this study. A medical record of patients clinical examination, Holter monitoring, echocardiographic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were analysed. The IH treatment with β-blockers was carried out. RESULTS Results: IH localization was diagnosed: 62% with a lesion of a part facial segment, 23% in one segment, 15% in several segments (p=0.018), and 12% with other parts of the body lesion (p=1.000). The patent foramen ovale was diagnosed in 35% of children. Central nervous system disorders were observed in 12% over two years of age. The indices of Holter monitoring and blood glucose changed in age norm range during treatment. Cardiovascular (the aortic coarctation (p=0.003) and brain (the Dandy-Walker malformation) (p=0.031) abnormalities were determined in two cases (8%) according to the MRI only. We diagnosed PHACE(S) syndrome in both these cases of children, only aged 12 months and 2.5 years old. CONCLUSION Conclusions: Early diagnosis of PHACE(S) syndrome is possible on a contrast-enhanced MRI performed in asymptomatic neonates and infants with the facial several segmental IH with / without ulceration (p=0.018, p=0.046; p < 0.05) for recognition of presymptomatic cardiovascular and brain abnormalities.

Abstract
Wyburn-Mason syndrome (WMS) is a rare congenital disease that presents with unilateral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the visual pathway, midbrain, and/or skin. We report a case of a 5-year-old girl with a history of cerebral and orbital AVM who presented with left exotropia and was found to have group 3 retinal AVM consistent with WMS. Here, we use ultrawide field imaging to show the progression of retinal AVM and peripheral nonperfusion areas for a period of 1 year in a pediatric patient with WMS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis is a term encompassing a group of disorders characterized by the coexistence of a segmental pigmented nevus of melanocytic origin and segmental capillary nevus. Over the past decades, confusion over the names and definitions of phacomatosis spilorosea, phacomatosis melanorosea, and their defining nevi, as well as of unclassifiable phacomatosis pigmentovascularis cases, has led to several misplaced diagnoses in published cases. METHODS A systematic and critical review of the worldwide literature on phacomatosis spilorosea and phacomatosis melanorosea was carried out. RESULTS This study yielded 18 definite instances of phacomatosis spilorosea and 14 of phacomatosis melanorosea, with one and six previously unrecognized cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Phacomatosis spilorosea predominantly involves the musculoskeletal system and can be complicated by neurological manifestations. Phacomatosis melanorosea is sometimes associated with ancillary cutaneous lesions, displays a relevant association with vascular malformations of the brain, and in general appears to be a less severe syndrome. Established phacomatosis pigmentovascularis variants now include phacomatosis cesioflammea, phacomatosis cesiomarmorata, phacomatosis spilorosea, phacomatosis melanorosea, phacomatosis cesioflammeomarmorata, and phacomatosis melanocesioflammea.

Abstract
The most common phacomatoses in children that need surgical attention are neurofibromatosis 1 and 2, tuberous sclerosis complex, Sturge-Weber disease, Von Hippel-Lindau disease, and neurocutaneous melanocytosis. All are rare and, as genetically determined disorders, all complex multisystem diseases with multiple manifestations outside the CNS. Diagnostics, management recommendations, and surgical care are age-specific and require individualization. The lifelong multidimensional disease burden demands a multidisciplinary and well-coordinated management approach. The consequence of these boundary conditions is that management of children with a phacomatosis is everything else but simple, straight forward, and intuitive. This Special Annual Issue is designed to serve as an up-to-date encyclopedic reference for all aspects of management of phacomatoses in the pediatric age group.

Abstract
The term congenital hypopigmentary disorders refers to a wide group of heterogeneous hereditary diseases, clinically characterized by inborn pigmentary defects of the iris, hair, and/or skin. They include Gray Hair Syndromes (GHSs), a rare group of autosomal recessive genodermatosis hallmarked by inborn silvery gray hair. GHSs encompass Griscelli, Chediak⁻Higashi, Elejalde, and Cross syndromes, which are all characterized by a broad spectrum of severe multisystem disorders, including neurological, ocular, skeletal, and immune system impairment. In this manuscript, we describe in detail the clinical, trichoscopic, and genetic features of a rare case of Griscelli syndrome; moreover, we provide an overview of all the GHSs known to date. Our report highlights how an accurate clinical examination with noninvasive methods, like trichoscopy, may play a crucial rule in diagnosis of rare and potentially lethal genetic syndromes such as Griscelli syndrome, in which timely diagnosis and therapy may modify the clinical course, quality of life, and likelihood of survival.

Abstract
Infantile hemangioma can be linked to other organ malformations. In 1996, PHACE syndrome was first defined as the association of large and segmental infantile hemangioma, usually on the face, head, or cervical region, with malformations of the posterior fossa of the brain, arterial anomalies of the central nervous system, coarctation of the aorta, cardiac defects, and ocular abnormalities. Over 300 cases of PHACE syndrome have been reported, and it is cconsidered one of the most common neurocutaneous vascular disorders in childhood. Knowledge of the features and locations of lesions that imply a greater risk of systemic involvement is crucial for the diagnosis and proper management of PHACE syndrome patients. This review highlights the diagnostic criteria for PHACE syndrome, the imaging workup for extracutaneous involvement, the treatment of infantile hemangioma, and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sclerocornea, a congenital corneal pathology characterized by bilateral scleralization of the cornea, which can be found in few cases with posterior fossa malformationshemangiomas-arterial anomalies-cardiac defects-eye abnormalities-sternal cleft and supraumbilical raphe (PHACES) syndrome. Presence of vascularization in peripheral cornea and smaller diameter of recipient cornea correlate to poor outcome of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in sclerocornea. Here we report a method to preserve limbus during PKP for small, irregular, and scleralized cornea. METHODS A 12-year-old boy with multiple congenital anomalies diagnosed as PHACES syndrome suffered from bilateral total sclerocornea and poor visual acuity. Due to the fact that the left eye cornea was small (6.5 mm × 10 mm), lamellar dissection and posterior recession of inferior limbus was first performed and followed by a 6 mm trephination and PKP with a 6.5 mm graft for left eye. At the same time, lens aspiration and release of peripheral anterior synechia were performed. RESULTS After 6 years of follow-up, the cornea remained clear, and there has been no sign of inflammation and conjunctivalization. The patient maintained useful vision of 20/400 in left eye. CONCLUSION The stabilization of corneal surface is possible after PKP for sclerocornea if the limbus can be preserved during the operation, and epithelium can remain corneal in phenotype preventing pannas growth.

Abstract
Common moles on the skin, known scientifically as melanocytic nevi, are seen frequently in the pediatric population. They are broadly grouped into two groups: congenital (generally present at birth or in infancy) or acquired. Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are classified based on size and morphologic features. Neurocutaneous melanosis and melanoma represent two important complications, with overall risk affected by nevus size, location, appearance, and number of satellite lesions. Regular lifelong skin surveillance is required for high-risk CMN. Acquired melanocytic nevi (AMN) tend to appear in childhood and increase in number through adolescence. Risk factors for melanoma in children with moles include having more than 50 AMN, clinically atypical AMN, family history of melanoma, excessive ultraviolet light exposure, lightly pigmented skin, and immunosuppression. Children with risk factors should be monitored regularly. The periodic health examination presents an opportunity to perform total body skin examination to screen for concerning lesions and to provide anticipatory guidance about sun protection.

Abstract
Giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GCMN) is a rare disorder affecting 1 in 200,000500,000 live births. Central nervous system defects such as spina bifida, meningocele, Dandy Walker malformation may accompany it and thus cause significant morbidity. Despite the related risk for malignant transformation, GCMNs may be associated with neurocutaneous melanosis, a rare syndrome in which a giant CMN or multiple smaller CMNs are accompanied by melanocytic deposition in the brain and the spinal cord. We present a case of a 5-day-old newborn with giant congenital melanocytic nevus on his back, as we discuss the diagnostic and treatment approach.

Abstract
Retinal venous occlusive events are a rare complication of arteriovenous malformations of the retina found in Wyburn-Mason syndrome. The authors present a case of a 28-year-old man diagnosed with Wyburn-Mason syndrome and cutaneous reactive angiomatosis, a reactive angioproliferative disorder induced by vascular occlusion. He developed a central retinal vein occlusion complicated by macular edema and received treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab, which led to resolution of the edema. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of an anti- vascular endothelial growth factor agent employed as an effective treatment for macular edema in the setting of Wyburn-Mason syndrome. The association between Wyburn-Mason syndrome and cutaneous reactive angiomatosis is also a novel finding.

Abstract
Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) is a sporadic condition characterized by ocular, cutaneous, and central nervous system anomalies. Key clinical features include a well-demarcated hairless fatty nevus on the scalp, benign ocular tumors, and central nervous system lipomas. Seizures, spasticity, and intellectual disability can be present, although affected individuals without seizures and with normal intellect have also been reported. Given the patchy and asymmetric nature of the malformations, ECCL has been hypothesized to be due to a post-zygotic, mosaic mutation. Despite phenotypic overlap with several other disorders associated with mutations in the RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways, the molecular etiology of ECCL remains unknown. Using exome sequencing of DNA from multiple affected tissues from five unrelated individuals with ECCL, we identified two mosaic mutations, c.1638C>A (p.Asn546Lys) and c.1966A>G (p.Lys656Glu) within the tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR1, in two affected individuals each. These two residues are the most commonly mutated residues in FGFR1 in human cancers and are associated primarily with CNS tumors. Targeted resequencing of FGFR1 in multiple tissues from an independent cohort of individuals with ECCL identified one additional individual with a c.1638C>A (p.Asn546Lys) mutation in FGFR1. Functional studies of ECCL fibroblast cell lines show increased levels of phosphorylated FGFRs and phosphorylated FRS2, a direct substrate of FGFR1, as well as constitutive activation of RAS-MAPK signaling. In addition to identifying the molecular etiology of ECCL, our results support the emerging overlap between mosaic developmental disorders and tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Neurocutaneous syndromes are a diverse group of neurologic disorders with concurrent skin manifestations. Most neurocutaneous syndromes have a genetic basis and are believed to arise from a defect in the differentiation of the primitive ectoderm. In this regard, the skin can be a window into the central nervous system and can aid in the diagnosis of neurologic disease in children. The cutaneous signs may be subtle, which places great importance on the physical examination skills of clinicians providing primary care to children. Early recognition can help with proper diagnosis, formulating a treatment plan, anticipating potential complications, making appropriate referrals, and offering genetic counseling to families.

Abstract
Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by the co-existence of an extensive vascular and a pigmentary nevus with or without extracutaneous manifestations. We report two such rare cases. The first is a 3-year-old boy exhibiting a rare association of cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita with aberrant dermal melanocytosis along with hypospadias and melanosis oculi (traditionally classified as PPV type Vb or phacomatosis cesiomarmorata - Happle's classification). The other patient is a 5-year-old boy with Sturge-Weber syndrome, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, aplasia of iliac, femoral, and popliteal veins and congenital heart disease, associated with aberrant dermal melanocytosis and melanosis oculi (also classified as PPV type IIb or phacomatosis cesioflammea). These sporadic cases display a unique constellation of additional, previously unreported systemic associations, which will further expand the clinical spectrum of phacomatosis pigmentovascularis.

Abstract
A new consensus-based classification of congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) has recently been proposed. It includes categories for projected adult size (PAS) and location, satellite nevi counts, and morphologic characteristics (color heterogeneity, rugosity, nodularity, and hypertrichosis). The objective of the current study was to test the applicability of the new categorization scheme and to correlate classification outcome with the patient's history of melanoma and neurocutaneous melanocytosis (NCM). Children and adults with CMN attending a patient conference in Dallas, Texas, in 2012 were invited to participate in the study. Anamnestical data were collected using a standardized questionnaire. Two dermatologists performed clinical examinations. Of 45 patients enrolled, 33 had a giant CMN (G1 [>40 cm PAS], n = 13; G2 [>60 cm PAS], n = 20), 12 had an NCM (5 symptomatic, 7 asymptomatic), and 1 had a history of melanoma. CMN size was positively correlated with NCM (p < 0.05). The classification system allowed an easy and detailed phenotypic characterization of each individual CMN. CMN size and morphology were difficult to assess in patients after surgical removal, and the number of satellite nevi at birth or during infancy was not always known. Our report provides practical aids for the application of the newly proposed CMN classification. Prospective evaluation of accurately classified patients in CMN registries will reveal the predictive value of the scheme. The small study sample limits meaningful conclusions regarding the correlation between CMN parameters and the risk of NCM and melanoma.

Abstract
Background:We report a case and review the recent literature describing 36 patients with both Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) and Cowden disease (CD). Lhermitte-Duclos disease, or dysplastic gangliocytoma, is a benign hamartomatous condition involving the cerebellum. The presenting symptoms are usually headaches, gait ataxia, and symptoms of lower cranial nerve involvement. Cowden disease is a rare autosomal dominant disease that usually presents with multiple mucocutaneous lesions. Patients with CD are prone to multiple systemic malignancies, the most common of which is breast cancer. Recent studies have demonstrated an association between LDD and CD.Methods:A 44-year-old woman with a previous history of breast cancer, multiple benign skin lesions, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and chronic headaches presented with exacerbation of her headaches during the previous year. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a right cerebellar nonenhancing mass and an acquired tonsillar herniation.Results:The patient underwent resection of the right cerebellar mass, posterior fossa decompression, C1 and C2 laminectomies, and a duraplasty. Pathologic examination confirmed LDD. The patient recovered well after surgery, with immediate improvement of her headaches.Conclusion:The association between LDD and CD has been under-recognized and under-reported. Recognition of this association has direct clinical relevance, because diligent monitoring of individuals with LDD and CD may lead to the early detection of systemic malignancies.

Abstract
Phakomatosis Pigmentovasularis (PPV) is a rare condition defined by the presence of both vascular and melanocytic nevi occurring in the same patient. We report the case of a 27-year-old Chinese female who presented with generalized port-wine stains over the left trigeminal region, trunk, and limbs, diffuse dermal melanosis on the back, nevus of Ota on the right cheek, and scleral melanosis. Her port-wine stain on the trunk was distributed in a checker-board pattern. She was otherwise well. She was diagnosed with phakomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) Type IIb. The 'twin spotting' phenomenon has been proposed in the pathogenesis of PPV, and PPV is an example of non-alleleic twin spotting. The checkerboard distribution of port-wine stain in our patient follows the type II pattern of distribution in cutaneous mosaics. This lends further credence to the proposed hypothesis of twin spotting and cutaneous mosaicism in the pathogenesis of PPV.

Abstract
Infantile haemangiomas are the most common tumours in infants. Large facial haemangiomas are associated with posterior fossa malformations, haemangiomas, arteriel malformations, cardiac defects and eye anomalies (PHACE) syndrome in 20-31%. The diagnosis requires a large facial haemangiom and the minimum of one extracutaneous manifestation. Infants with large facial haemangiomas are in risk of PHACE syndrome and need to be referred to paediatric expertise. This case represents an infant with a large facial haemangioma, who was diagnosed with a coarctatio aortae and hence the PHACE syndrome.
