Linear atrophoderma of Moulin: a disease which follows Blaschko's lines

A Wollenberg et al. Br J Dermatol. 1996 Aug.

Abstract

Linear atrophoderma of Moulin is a distinctive disease pattern characterized by hyperpigmented atrophoderma and described originally in 1992. It follows the lines of Blaschko, and occurs without preceding inflammation, subsequent induration or scleroderma. The lesions usually develop during childhood or adolescence, and the prognosis is good. The differential diagnoses include linear dermatoses, e.g. linear scleroderma, epidermal naevi, inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal naevus, lichen striatus, Blaschkitis acuta, reticulate hyperpigmentation of Iijima and linear lupus erythematosus. Diagnosis is made clinically and histologically. We report a 22-year-old woman with a 17 year history of linear atrophoderma which involved the right arm and trunk.
