Galli‐Galli disease is usually characterized by reticulate hyperpigmentation of the flexures. Rare patients may present without this finding, instead having only localized erythematous papules and brown, lentigo‐like macules on the trunk and extremities. Histological changes consist of elongated and in part hyperpigmented rete ridges and areas of acantholysis. 相似文献
Idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation is a rare condition characterized by asymptomatic pigmented macules involving the neck, trunk, and proximal portions of the extremities. On histopathologic examination, there was increased pigmentation of the basal layer in otherwise normal epidermis and scattered melanophages in the papillary dermis. We report a case of a 26-year-old woman with idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation involving only the flexural areas of the body. This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of flexural hyperpigmented skin lesions. 相似文献
Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis (LWNHM) is a reticulate pigmentary disorder with a sporadic occurrence, representing genetic mosaicism. It is characterised by hyperpigmented macules in a reticulate pattern along Blaschko's lines, sparing the mucous membranes and stabilising after one to two years. It may be associated with various neurological abnormalities. The disorder may resemble incontinentia pigmenti, epidermal nevus, or zebra-like hyperpigmentation clinically. We report LWMNHM in a 15-year-old girl with progressively increasing streaks of reticulate hyperpigmented macules arranged in a whorled pattern over the trunk and extremities, which appeared soon after birth. There was no history of any preceding eruption or any associated systemic abnormality. Histopathological examination revealed basal cell hyperpigmentation without any pigmentary incontinence. CT scan of the brain was normal. 相似文献
Idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation is a disorder of pigmentation found in children and adolescents. It typically manifests as nonconfluent tan to brown macules involving the neck, trunk, and proximal extremities. We report the case of a 6‐year‐old girl with an atypical presentation involving the distal extremities. Histopathology confirmed the subtle increase in pigmentation of the basal layer of the epidermis. Treatments are largely ineffective. The condition is generally self‐limited over months to years, thus treatment is unnecessary. 相似文献
A 48‐year‐old woman with a 10‐month history of widespread, hyperpigmented, slightly pruritic macules, with a red border, involving the trunk and the proximal limbs ( Fig. 1 ) was referred to our outpatient department. The oral mucosa, palms, soles, scalp, and nails were normal. Figure 1 Open in figure viewer PowerPoint Multiple hyperpigmented macules with an active border on the trunk 相似文献
A 24-year-old man presented with numerous lentigines and multiple cafe-au-lait macules on both sides of the face, neck, and trunk as well as on the proximal area of the upper extremities and in the axillae. The pigmented lesions had a Blaschko-linear distribution on the upper trunk and were limited to the left side of the abdomen, with a sharp demarcation at the midline. Multiple, cutaneous neurofibromas were found on the trunk, and ophthalmologic examination showed a Lisch nodule in the left iris. The clinical findings and their widespread but segmental distribution were consistent with a diagnosis of mosaic neurofibromatosis type 1. 相似文献
A 65-year-old male diabetic presented with erythematous and hyperpigmented plaques with scaling and crusting involving the trunk and extensor surfaces of extremities of 10 years duration associated with mild itching. Cutaneous examination revealed large hyperpigmented and erythematous plaques with raised borders over the trunk and extremities. A small plaque on the (L) forearm showed a raised thread like margin with a furrow. A provisional diagnosis of disseminated superficial porokeratosis was made. Skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of disseminated superficial porokeratosis. 相似文献
We report a 30-year-old female patient with a history of hyperpigmented macules of the face since the age of 7 years. The clinical appearance, brown macules in multiple segmental or grouped patterns, was suggested to be agminated lentigines. However, histologic examination of the pigmented macule revealed scattered melanocytes within the dermis. We diagnosed this lesion as a bilateral type of nevus of Ota presenting as agminated lentigines. The differential diagnosis from acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules was made. 相似文献
