Congenital plaque-type glomuvenous malformations associated with fetal pleural effusion and ascites

Pediatr Dermatol. 2011 Sep-Oct;28(5):528-31. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.2010.01216.x. Epub 2010 Dec 7.

Abstract

Glomuvenous malformations are hereditary vascular anomalies, usually without extracutaneous involvement. We report two cases of extensive thoracic plaque-type glomuvenous malformation in newborns who had previously been diagnosed in utero with pleural effusion and ascites, suggesting a pathogenic link between the two conditions.
