Abstract
- Cutaneous chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) is classified into lichenoid and sclerodermoid forms and may be associated with xerosis cutis, dyschromia, nail and hair changes. A 52-year-old woman was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia and underwent allogeneic non-myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in October 2006. She presented with multiple linear atrophic striae on the erythematous to pigmented firm plaque on the abdomen for 1 year. A biopsy was taken from the linear atrophic striae and firm plaque, respectively. We report a rare case of striae distensae developed on the chronic sclerodermoid skin GVHD lesion diagnosed by clinicopathologic findings.
