An 8-year-old girl presented with a persistent 5 × 2-cm violaceous doughy plaque on the left lower leg. Histologic examination revealed hyperkeratosis, variable but mild epidermal hyperplasia, and vacuolar interface changes with melanin pigment incontinence confined to the papillary dermis.

We intend to study the expression of peripheral node addressins in PLP, APACHE, TRAPP, and PCAH.
