adermatoglyphia
Adermatoglyphia is an extremely rare genetic disorder that prevents the development of fingerprints. Five extended families worldwide are known to be affected by this condition.
thyroglossal cyst
congenital benign cyst arising from the remnants of the thyroglossal duct
infantile hemangioma
human disease
branchial cleft cyst
tumor derived from branchial epithelium or branchial rests
aplasia cutis congenita
medical condition
pilomatrixoma
Pilomatricoma is a benign skin tumor derived from the hair matrix. These neoplasms are relatively uncommon and typically occur on the scalp, face, and upper extremities. Clinically, pilomatricomas present as a subcutaneous nodule or cyst with unremarkable overlying epidermis that can range in size from 0.5 to 3.0 cm, but the largest reported case was 24 cm.
Hutchinson's teeth
clinical sign of congenital syphilis
Rhagades
thumb|Fissures, or rhagades (photo from "An American text-book of the diseases of children" (1895)) Rhagades' are fissures, cracks, or linear scars in the skin, especially at the angles of the mouth and nose. They tend to form at areas of motion. They can be a result from bacterial infection of skin lesions. They are one of the late-stage manifestations of congenital syphilis; others are saber shins, Hutchinson teeth, saddle nose, and Clutton's joints (usually knee synovitis).
nevus of Ota
macular lesion on the side of the face
Dyschromia
Dyschromia refers to an alteration of the color of the skin or nails.
capillary hemangioma
most common variant of hemangioma, dull red, firm, dome-shaped hemangioma, usually located on the head and neck, which grows rapidly caused by proliferation of immature capillary vessels
PHACE association
cutaneous condition characterized by multiple congenital abnormalities. ("PHACES"=Posterior fossa malformations–hemangiomas–arterial anomalies–cardiac defects–eye abnormalities–sternal cleft and supraumbilical raphe syndrome)
amniotic band constriction
Human disease
accessory nail of the fifth toe
physical human trait
Nager acrofacial dysostosis
acrofacial dysostosis characterized by underdeveloped cheek bones, very small lower jaw, cleft palate, defects in the middle ear, absent eyelashes, and a notch in the lower eyelids called a coloboma, in children
