AI Article Synopsis
- Linear Atrophoderma of Moulin (LAM) is a rare skin condition marked by atrophic patches on the skin, primarily on the trunk, but can also appear on the arms, legs, and neck.
- A case study presented involves a 33-year-old male from Nepal who has had brown to black lesions on his left upper back, abdomen, and thigh for 7 years, with findings consistent with LAM.
- This case is notable as it is the first documented instance of LAM in Nepal and highlights the importance of distinguishing it from linear scleroderma for appropriate treatment and prognosis.
Article Abstract
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.
