Abstract
Linear atrophoderma is a rare disease, first described by Moulin in 19 92 in 5 patients, clinically characterized by hyperpigmented. depresse d band-like areas along Blaschko's lines. To date, the disease has no effective treatment. We report the seventh case of this condition in a 16-year-old girl and discuss clinical and histopathologic findings, e mphasizing the benefit of the potassium aminobenzoate (Potaba) treatme nt which provided an early stabilization of the skin lesions.
