Abstract
A unique case of a congenital skin fossa in the zygomatic region in a 3-year-old girl is reported. Little has been written about congenital fossae, or dimples. They are thought to develop in the wound resulting from the fetal tissue being compressed between a sharp bony point and the uterine wall. The skin and subcutaneous tissue become compressed and adherent, and when the pressure is released, surrounding parts can stand up, while the attached part remains tied down, forming small dimples or fossae, what have been called "pressure dimples." This is the first report of a skin fossa located in the zygomatic region, as far as we know.
