Abstract:
Partial Unilateral Lentiginosis (PUL) is a rare pigmentary disorder characterized by the numerous lentigines confined to a body segment, with a sharp demarcation at the midline. We report two cases of PUL. A 38-year-old woman had asymptomatic discrete small hyperpigmented macules that were scattered on the T7~L1 dermatomes on the left side of her trunk and were clearly demarcated in the midline on both anterior and posterior sides. In the other case, an 18- year-old woman had hyperpigmented macules that were scattered on the left neck, shoulder, and anterior chest. Other anomalies including neurofibromatosis, neurologic anomalies, and multiple lentiginous syndrome were not related in both cases. We report two cases of PUL having no other anomalies.
