Linear Atrophoderma of Moulin is a rare skin condition that is characterized by the development of one or more atrophic patches or depressions in the skin. These patches are usually located on the trunk, but they can also occur on the arms, legs, and neck. We here present a case of 33-year Nepalese male with brown to black color lesions over the left upper back, abdomen and thigh for the last 7 years. Clinical and dermatopathological findings were similar to the Linear Atrophoderma of Moulin. To our knowledge, this is the first case of LAM from Nepal. This case emphasizes the necessity of diagnosing Atrophoderma of Moulin and separating it from linear scleroderma due to differences in therapy and prognosis.
线性硬斑性萎缩性皮肤病是一种罕见的皮肤疾病,其特征是皮肤出现一个或多个萎缩性斑块或凹陷。这些斑块通常位于躯干上,但也可能出现在手臂、腿部和颈部。我们在此介绍一例 33 岁的尼泊尔男性,其左侧背部、腹部和大腿上有棕色至黑色病变,已有 7 年。临床和皮肤病理学检查结果与线性硬斑性萎缩性皮肤病相似。据我们所知,这是尼泊尔首例 LAM 病例。该病例强调了诊断 Moulin 硬斑性萎缩性皮肤病的必要性,并因其治疗和预后的差异与线状硬皮病相区分。
