Atypical mole syndrome and congenital giant naevus in a patient with celiac disease.
We describe a case of a 28-year-old woman affected by celiac disease (CD) associated with rare multiple disorders of the cutaneous pigmentary system: atypical mole syndrome and congenital giant naevus. Some other rare skin lesions have been reported in association with celiac disease such as cutaneous sarcoidosic granuloma, bullous pemphigoid, ichthyosis, alopecia areata, erythema elevatum diutinum, sclero-atrophic lichen and primary cutaneous amyloidosis. This is the 1(st) report concerning celiac disease and congenital disorders of the pigmentary system.
