Abstract:
A 33-year-old male patient had malignant atrophic papulosis that affected the skin and intestinal tract and probably respiratory system. He had multiple typical skin lesion with porcelain-white atrophic scars on the whole body surface area except on face, palm and sole. And he had been operated two times due to intestinal perforation after onset. Multiple whitish necrotic patches were found in small and large intestine during laparotomy. Also he had a plueral effusion. Histopathologic studies showed atrophic epidermis and dermal necrosis, vascular change, mucin deposition in lower dermis. He was treated with acetyl salicylic acid and dipyridamole, but there was no improve-ment. He died of intestinal perforation and respiratory failure 67 months after onset(6 months after onset of abdominal symptom).
