Abstrakt: Linear atrophoderma of Moulin (LAM) is a rare dermatological condition characterized by unilateral hyperpigmented and atrophic band-like skin lesions following Blaschko's lines. The exact cause of LAM is unclear, but it is believed to be related to either autoimmunity or genetic mosaicism. This article describes a case of LAM in a 27-year-old man, highlighting a granulomatous reaction and antinuclear-antibody (ANA) positivity. The patient's chronic lesions met the diagnostic criteria for LAM, except for a thinner dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The article also discusses the dermoscopic features, treatment options, and the potential link between LAM and autoimmunity or connective tissue diseases. [Extracted from the article]
