  • Also called Aplasia Cutis
  • Incomplete development of squamous epithelium and adnexa of skin and epithelium of oral mucosa
  • Occurs in most species
  • Grossly:
    • Circumscribed areas of missing squamous epithelium
  • Unprotected underlying tissue gets easily damaged and infected, possibly resulting in bacteraemia
