Linear atrophoderma of Moulin
Medical condition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linear atrophoderma of Moulin, also known as Moulin atrophoderma linearis,[1]) is an acquired unilateral dermatitis localized along the Blaschko lines.[2] It affects children or adolescents of both genders, involving the trunk and the limbs. It is, presumably, a rare cutaneous form of mosaicism.[3] This disease was first referred to as atrophoderma of Moulin after Dr. Moulin who first reported it in 1992[4] then was renamed as linear atrophoderma of Moulin.[5] Only a few dozen cases have been described; for this reason, LAM is considered to be a very rare disorder.[6][7][8]
