Abstract

Abstract The diagnosis and management of pediatric hyperpigmented lesions can be challenging, given the vast list of differentials to consider. We report a case of a 13-year-old Chinese girl who presented with a 1-year duration of generalized hyperpigmented macules and was eventually diagnosed with idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation, a rare and benign melanosis, characterized by an eruption of brown, nonconfluent asymptomatic macules in children and adolescents. The clinical and histopathological features, differential diagnoses, and management are discussed in this article to raise awareness of this condition among pediatricians and general practitioners.
