Pseudoatrophic macules: a variant of neurofibroma.
A 19-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1 showed a cutaneous plaque on the right scapular area with grayish coloration and atrophic appearance. Histopathologic examination demonstrated features of neurofibroma. Dermatologists should be aware of this uncommon clinical variant of neurofibroma in order to diagnose neurofibromatosis.
