Abstract:
A 15-year-old female patient had malignant atrophic papulosis(Degos' disease) that affected the skin and probably intestinal tract. She had multiple erythematous papules with porcelain-white atrophic centers on the trunk and extremities. Also she suffered from intermittent nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. She received appendectomy for abdominal pain 2 months ago. Histopathologic studies showed atrophic epidermis and necrobiotic dermis. There were endothelial thickening, fibrinoid necrosis of bload vessels, perivascular lymphocytic infiltation in the lower dermis. She was treatd with acetyl salicylic acid and dipyridamole, but there was no improvement.
