- Abstract
Atrophia maculosa varioliformis cutis (AMVC) is a rare form of idiopathic non-inflammatory macular atrophy that occurs in young individuals.[1] It is characterized by the spontaneous development of depressed lesions on the face arranged in a varioliform, linear or reticulated pattern in the absence of previous trauma or inflammation.[2] A familial occurrence has been reported.[[1], [6]] Its pathogenesis remains unknown, and its exact nosology is still a matter of conjecture. Dermatological examination revealed a bilateral distribution of a few linear, depressed lesions on the cheeks, three punctate, depressed lesions located on the trunk and two on the dorsum of the feet (Fig.).
