Abstract
|
|
|
Since the first report of a case by Heidingsfeld(1918), Atrophia Maculosa Varioliformis Cutis has been rarely and no authentic histologic findings have been reported.
Recently we observed this disorder in a 12 years old girl who showed punched out macular atrophic lesions with flat base, round or irregular in shape, 14 in number and 0.1 x 0. lcm 3 x 3.5cm in size appearing on the face, right buttock and flank.
The histology showed flattened epidermis with hyperkeratosis, thick connective tissue fibers mostly running paralell to the surface of the skin, disappearance of elastica in the upper dermis and short frail elastic fibers in the mid dermis.
The literature concerning atrophy of the skin is reviewed.
