Atrophoderma of Pasini. Presented by DR. ORLANDO CANIZARES.

A man aged 28, a physician, was first seen in Caracas, Venezuela, in consultation with Dr. Francisco Scannone, in August, 1956. He had a history of repeated attacks of tonsillitis, for which tonsillectomy was performed in January, 1957. In about 1950 a slightly brownish-blue patch, which occasionally produced a sensation of warmth or tingling, appeared on the right side of the chest. There had been no ingestion of medication. Two brothers have diabetes.

On the left side of the thorax there is an elongated, brownish-blue, depressed patch about 5 cm. long parallel to the ribs. The surface of the lesion does not show atrophy. On the back, especially on the lumbar region and buttocks, there are several small, depressed, bluish-violaceous lesions, round or oval, from 3 to 5 cm. in diameter. The surface of the lesions is smooth and shows no wrinkling, and there is no infiltration. . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
