In this brief section only three congenital cutaneous diseases are outlined. They include epitheliogenesis imperfecta, epidermolysis bullosa and hyperelastosis cutis. The first is an absence of epidermal structures, the second is a defect at the epidermal–dermal junction and the third is a disease of a component of the dermis. The clinical and histopathologic findings for each are described herein.
