RESUMEN
Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) is an autosomal dominant inherited rare type of vascular malformation encountered in a neonate and first described in 2003. It has been reported in association with heterozygous mutations in the RASA1 gene, which encodes the protein RASp21. In 2010, a German doctor proposed rhodoid nevus as a name for this type of capillary malformation; in ancient Greek, rhodoides means "rose-like" or "rose-colored." Accordingly, CM-AVM could also be called "rhodoid nevus syndrome." We report this case as its very challenging diagnosis with its further differentials and its association with thrombocytopenia.
