title: [Degos atrophic malignant papulosis. Not always malignant!].
abstract: A patient developed malignant atrophic papulosis with only cutaneous manifestation. Repeated coloscopy uncovered no malignant papules in the colon. Referring to the literature, the value of permanent anticoagulant therapy is discussed. In contrast to the term "malignant" atrophic papulosis, there also seems to be a variant with a benign clinical course.
