Linear atrophoderma of Moulin explained

Synonym:	Moulin atrophoderma linearis, atrophoderma of Moulin
Specialty:	Dermatology

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