Abstract
- Linear atrophoderma of Moulin is a disease characterized by hyperpigmented linear atrophoderma which follows Blaschko's lines. There is no preceding inflammation or subsequent sclerodermatous changes. The disease had not been reported in Korean literature since Moulin reported for the first time in 1992. The patient was a 21-year-old Korean female who presented multiple hyperpigmented linear macules on the face, arm and lower extremities since birth. All the lesions followed Blaschko" lines. Histopathologic findings showed mild acanthosis and perivascular lymphohistiocytic infiltration. No changes of dermal collagen and elastic fibers were observed.
