This question is scary to think about, but is 100% valid. No areas of Project Management should be neglected but I fully understand it can happen. I would say " Stakeholder Management/Engagement".
I've seen it where there is good communication with stakeholders, but the formal process recommended by PMI has not been adopted.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yes, though not recommended but it can happen. Sometimes we may start overlooking something and not spend necessary time on it.

The first step is the most important step allways. So, I have to say, Project Scope. But when you start thinking about all related to project management you will notice the relation between all knowledge areas. For example, you think about Project Scope, but to determine the Project Scope you need to work with Project Stakeholders, as @Denise stated above. And you can follow the line of thinking. So, no knowledge area is neglected. When somebody thinks about to start an initiative all knowledge areas are taking into account. The problem is that, most of the time, they are not stated explicitly.

I agree with Denise You cannot neglect any knowledge area as it may have a negative impact on the project objectives .

I second the opinions of Sergio & Denise. You can't neglect any KA - The difference would be in the size and type of the project where you will concentrate on one KA more than the other but not completely neglect any.
Completely agree with Denise, you can't neglect any Knowledge Area. As Rami said, depending in size and type of project maybe we concentrate our efforts in some areas, but never neglect.
