Abstract

Birthmarks can frequently be seen in newborn babies, but their etiopathogenesis is often unclear. These lesions can be divided into three groups: vascular birthmarks, pigmented birthmarks, and birthmarks resulting in abnormal development. Some birthmarks may require further analysis and clinical follow-up in order to rule out underlying defects, malignant potential, or correlation with syndromic diseases. Presented here is the case of a newborn baby with two simultaneous birthmarks: an adnexal polyp and a nevus anemicus. Adnexal polyps are considered an uncommon clinical observation
