Linear juvenile dermatomyositis: A segmental manifestation

Francesc Alamon-Reig et al. Pediatr Dermatol. 2023 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

A 7-year-old girl presented with proximal muscle weakness and skin lesions. Physical examination revealed violaceous papules on the right forearm in a blaschkoid distribution. Her symptoms and test results were consistent with juvenile dermatomyositis. An unusual superimposed segmental manifestation of this disease is discussed.

Keywords: juvenile dermatomyositis; linear dermatoses; pediatric dermatology.
