Linear atrophoderma of Moulin, also known as Moulin atrophoderma linearis, [1] ) is an acquired unilateral dermatitis localized along the Blaschko lines. [2] It affects children or adolescents of both genders, involving the trunk and the limbs. It is, presumably, a rare cutaneous form of mosaicism. [3] This disease was first referred to as atrophoderma of Moulin after Dr. Moulin who first reported it in 1992 [4] then was renamed as linear atrophoderma of Moulin. [5] Only a few dozen cases have been described; for this reason, LAM is considered to be a very rare disorder. [6] [7] [8]
