Dermal melanocytoses are a group of cutaneous disorders characterized by the presence of ectopic melanocytes in the dermis; the most well-known example is the Mongolian spot. Acquired dermal melanocytosis (ADM) is a term used to describe the onset of dermal melanocytosis occurring after its usual age of presentation (i.e., birth and infancy). ADMs usually occur on the face and can less commonly affect extrafacial sites, such as the back and limbs. Purely extrafacial ADM is extremely uncommon and, when present, is usually unifocal. Herein, we present an exceptionally rare example of purely extrafacial ADM with extensive bilateral involvement in a 44-year-old female originally from the Philippines.
皮肤黑素细胞增多症是一组以真皮中存在异位黑素细胞为特征的皮肤疾病;最广为人知的例子是蒙古斑。获得性皮肤黑素细胞增多症(ADM)是一个术语,用于描述在其通常出现年龄(即出生和婴儿期)之后发生的皮肤黑素细胞增多症。ADM通常发生在面部,较少情况下可累及面部以外的部位,如背部和四肢。单纯面部以外的ADM极为罕见,一旦出现,通常为单病灶。在此,我们报告一例极其罕见的单纯面部以外ADM病例,该病例为一名44岁来自菲律宾的女性,双侧广泛受累。
