    Histologically, the most consistent finding is a thin, atrophic epidermis with the absence of skin appendages in the dermis of the cleft tissue. A central fibrous cord can be seen beneath the squamous epithelium.13-15 The cephalic skin projection contains normal epidermis that may include bundles of skeletal muscle in the core.
