<p class="abstract">Lupus panniculitis of scalp is an uncommon manifestation lupus erythematosus, which presents as non-scarring linear, arched, or annular alopecia along the lines Blaschko. A 7 year old child presented with localised linear on scalp. Examination revealed a single alopecic patch left parietal There were no associated systemic complaints. Skin biopsy showed atrophic lining...

Chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus in a linear configuration is rare, particularly in children, demonstrating similar incidence in both genders, no photo-sensitivity and lower probability of progression to systemic disease. We describe the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented erythematous papules with central atrophy on the upper and lower right limbs, asymptomatic and following the lines...

A 32-year-old woman had several brownish and pruritic lesions over her left buttock and leg that had been present since she was 12 years old. She observed a progressive increase in size and number of the lesions, with increased sweating on and around them. Examination revealed several brownish, irregular nodules, 1–1.5 cm in diameter, and firm to palpation, along the lower left limb and followi...

Lichen striatus is an acquired inflammatory dermatosis that usually presents in children as papules arranged in a single band following the Baschko lines on an extremity. The disorder resolves slowly, leaving transient hypopigmentation, and rarely recurs. Histopathology findings indicate both lichenoid and spongiotic dermatitis. A variant of blaschkitis that occurs in adults is referred to as a...

The term hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) is applied to individuals with skin hypopigmentation along the lines of Blaschko. Although it was originally described as a purely cutaneous disease, subsequent studies describing HI reported a 33% to 94% association with multiple extracutaneous manifestations, mostly of the central nervous and musculoskeletal systems. This leads to characterization of HI as a...

We report on a 15-year-old female with a 3-month history of a pruritic, erythematous cutaneous eruption on the right cheek and perioral area. The lesion had a linear distribution following the lines of Blaschko. Histopathological findings and direct immunofluorescence were compatible with chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE). Treatment with topical steroids and systemic antimalarial agent...

The association of microphthalmia and linear skin defects was named microphthalmia with linear skin defects syndrome (MLS) or MIDAS syndrome (microphthalmia, dermal aplasia, and sclerocornea), an X-chromosomal disorder manifesting mainly in females. We examined a female newborn with facial linear skin defects following the Blaschko lines. Computer tomography and ophthalmological examination con...
