A full‐term infant girl who had bilateral, symmetrical, sharply defined, triangular‐shaped ulcers on both sides of the umbilicus is described. A punch biopsy specimen showed histologic findings of aplasia cutis. Echocardiographic examination revealed primum‐type atrial septal defect. To our knowledge, this association is the first of its kind to be reported in the literature.
