Introduction: Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare genodermatosis neuroectodermal multisystem disorder. This disease has an incidence of 1:50.000 births and is typically lethal in males, in utero. Case report: The authors present a clinical case of IP in a newborn with papulovesiculous eruptions observed on the first day of life. The evolution, anatomopathology and genetic study findings established the diagnosis. Conclusion: The IP is a potentially serious clinical entity, which requires an early diagnosis and multidisciplinary follow-up.

Keywords : Incontinentia pigmenti; newborn; papulovesiculous eruptions.
