Abstract
- Linear atrophoderma of Moulin (LAM) is a distinct clinical entity characterized by acquired atrophic band-like skin lesions that often show hyperpigmentation and always follow the lines of Blaschko. In general, no preceding inflammation is noted, and there is no induration of scleroderma. Usually the condition begins in childhood or adolescence, and there is no evidence of any long-term progression. There are only about 30 reported cases and most of them are located in trunk and extremities. LAM that developed on the neck have been reported only once in the English literature. We report an uncommon case of LAM, which developed on the neck of a 57-year old woman.
