Cutaneous pigmentation due to the arthropod, Cydnidae (a.k.a. burrowing bug), is increasingly being reported in the literature. The transient nature of this pigmentation probably contributes to its underreporting. We report a case of an 8-year-old girl with a sudden onset of hyperpigmented lesions on her index finger, face, and neck due to burrowing bugs. We propose the term "transient pseudo-lentigines sign" to better describe this fleeting arthropod-induced pigmentation.
由于节肢动物 Cydnidae(又名潜叶虫)引起的皮肤色素沉着在文献中越来越多地被报道。这种色素沉着的短暂性可能导致其报告不足。我们报告了一例 8 岁女孩的病例,她因潜叶虫而突然出现食指、面部和颈部的色素沉着斑。我们提出了“短暂假性色素斑征”一词来更好地描述这种短暂的节肢动物诱导的色素沉着。
