SECTION 1: PEDIATRIC SKIN ASSESSMENT & CUTANEOUS MARKERS
(Questions 1–20)
1. A newborn presents with a tuft of hair overlying the lumbosacral spine.
This finding is most consistent with:
A. Café au lait macule
B. Faun tail nevus
C. Port-wine stain
D. Supernumerary nipple
Answer: B
Rationale: Faun tail nevus is a tuft of hair overlying the spinal column at
birth, usually in the lumbosacral area, and may be associated with spina
bifida occulta.
2. Multiple café au lait macules larger than 5 mm in diameter may be
associated with which condition?
A. Sturge-Weber syndrome
B. Neurofibromatosis
C. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome
D. Tuberous sclerosis only
, Page 2 of 33
Answer: B
Rationale: Café au lait macules larger than 5 mm may be associated with
neurofibromatosis, as well as pulmonary stenosis, temporal lobe
dysrhythmia, and tuberous sclerosis.
3. Freckling in the axillary or inguinal area in a child is most suggestive of:
A. Neurofibromatosis
B. Psoriasis
C. Eczema
D. Tinea corporis
Answer: A
Rationale: Multiple flat pigmented macules in the axillary or inguinal area
are associated with neurofibromatosis and may occur with café au lait
macules.
4. A facial port-wine stain involving at least one eyelid and the forehead
may be associated with:
A. Glaucoma and Sturge-Weber syndrome
B. Neurofibromatosis
C. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome
D. Spina bifida occulta
Answer: A
Rationale: Facial port-wine stains may be associated with ocular defects,
most notably glaucoma, or angiomatous malformation of the meninges
(Sturge-Weber syndrome).
5. A port-wine stain of the limb accompanied by varicosities and soft
tissue hypertrophy is associated with:
A. Sturge-Weber syndrome
B. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome
C. Neurofibromatosis
D. Tuberous sclerosis
Answer: B
Rationale: Port-wine stain of limb and/or trunk with varicosities and
, Page 3 of 33
hypertrophy of underlying soft tissues and bones may be associated with
Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome.
6. The “hair collar” sign in an infant is most concerning for:
A. Isolated benign anomaly only
B. Neural tube closure defects of the scalp
C. Neurofibromatosis
D. Sturge-Weber syndrome
Answer: B
Rationale: A ring of long, dark, coarse hair surrounding a midline scalp
nodule in infants may indicate neural tube closure defects of the scalp.
7. Supernumerary nipples are most commonly associated with:
A. Renal abnormalities
B. Cardiac defects
C. Neural tube defects
D. Glaucoma
Answer: A
Rationale: Supernumerary nipples located along the mammary ridge may
be associated with renal abnormalities, especially in the presence of
other minor anomalies.
8. Physiologic desquamation in a newborn is characterized by:
A. Dry, peeling skin on hands and feet in the first few days of life
B. Generalized erythema with scaling
C. Vesicular lesions on the trunk
D. Purulent drainage from the umbilicus
Answer: A
Rationale: Physiologic desquamation presents as dry, peeling skin on the
hands and feet in the first few days of life; it is benign and resolves in 1–2
weeks.
9. Cutis marmorata in a newborn is:
A. A benign condition that resolves with warming
B. A sign of sepsis
, Page 4 of 33
C. A permanent vascular malformation
D. Associated with cardiac defects
Answer: A
Rationale: Cutis marmorata is a benign skin finding due to immature
vasomotor control that resolves with warming.
10. Which cutaneous finding is most suggestive of tuberous sclerosis?
A. Café au lait macules
B. Ash leaf spots (hypopigmented macules)
C. Port-wine stain
D. Faun tail nevus
Answer: B
Rationale: Ash leaf spots are hypopigmented macules characteristically
associated with tuberous sclerosis.
11. A child presents with a single oval, scaly, erythematous plaque on the
trunk that appeared suddenly. This is most consistent with:
A. Tinea corporis
B. Pityriasis rosea herald patch
C. Psoriasis
D. Eczema
Answer: B
Rationale: Pityriasis rosea begins with a primary (herald) oval or round
plaque, followed by a generalized eruption 1–3 weeks later.
12. The herald patch of pityriasis rosea is often:
A. Painful
B. Pruritic
C. Purulent
D. Hemorrhagic
Answer: B
Rationale: The herald patch may be pruritic, and pruritus may also be
present with the generalized eruption.
