Abstract
Idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation: a rare self-limited dermatosis
Highlights
A 7-year-5-month-old girl, Caucasian, previously healthy, who consulted because for three days she had presented an asymptomatic eruption of multiple small, nonconfluent dark-brown macules on the neck, trunk (Figure 1) and proximal extremities
Given the clinical suspicion of acquired macular pigmentation of unknown etiology, a general term that encompasses a group of diseases with similar clinical and histological characteristics, a skin biopsy was performed
Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation (IEMP)
