Abstract

We report a case of atrophoderma vermiculata with an unusual location. Besides symmetrical small pitted macules and linear atrophic depressions on both cheeks, there were unilateral atrophic depressed macules on the forehead, the right popliteal fossa and left up-per arm in our case. The histopathologic findings of these lesions showed a slight degree of epidermal atrophy with follicular pluggings and flattened rete ridges. In the dermis, there were mild perivascular in-filtrations of mononuclear cells. In addition, we could find out no pilosebaceous unit and other adnexal structures were diminished in number.
