Case report describes stable solitary lesion of atrophic papulosis in a young girl, implying potential for stable outcomes.
Atrophic papulosis (Köhlmeier‐Degos disease) is a rare thrombo‐occlusive vasculopathy classically presenting with multiple porcelain‐white atrophic papules and a high risk of progression to systemic involvement. We report a 2‐year‐old girl presenting with clinical, dermoscopic, and histologic findings of atrophic papulosis with only a solitary lesion. She had no progression of disease over the subsequent four years. This case suggests that solitary lesions of atrophic papulosis may remain clinically stable over extended follow‐up.
