A Case of Atrophia Maculosa Varioliformis Cutis.
Atrophia maculosa varioliformis cutis is a rare disease that was first described by Heidingsfeld in 1918. It is characterized by an idiopathic, non-inflammatory macular atrophy that typically occurs on the face in young individuals. Despite its association with some diseases, the etiopathogenesis of this entity remains unknown. After consideration of the differential diagnosis criteria for idiopathic atrophic conditions, we report a case for a 40-year-old Korean male whose past medical history was suggestive of atrophia maculosa varioliformis cutis.
