Idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation: report of five patients.

We report the occurrence of idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation in four children and one adolescent. This condition appears to be a distinct clinicopathologic and histologic entity. It is characterized by asymptomatic, pigmented macules involving the neck, trunk, and proximal limbs. All patients or their families denied the patients' having taken any drug before the eruption. In all of the patients the first sign was a pigmented spot without preceding erythematous, papular, or hypopigmented lesions. Histologic study showed enhanced epidermal basal layer pigmentation with pigmentary incontinence, a mild perivascular lymphohistiocytic infiltrate, and many melanophages in the papillary dermis. Electron microscopy showed an increased number of melanosomes in basal and suprabasal keratinocytes as well as clustered melanosomes in dermal melanophages. Treatment of this asymptomatic condition is unnecessary because spontaneous resolution of the lesions is to be expected within several months to a few years.

Unilateral congenital linear atrophoderma of the leg.

We report an infant with depressed, hypopigmented, linear plaques of congenital onset on the lower extremity. The lesions were asymptomatic and the child was otherwise healthy. Despite the clinically obvious change in skin texture and color, histopathologic changes were subtle: a biopsy specimen showed hypopigmentation and a decrease in elastic fibers in the papillary and upper reticular dermis. Diagnoses considered included various congenital syndromes, idiopathic atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini, and especially, linear atrophoderma of Moulin. However, because of the significant clinical and histopathologic differences when compared to the aforementioned entities, our patient appears to have a unique presentation of congenital linear atrophoderma.

Sensitization to olive oil (olea europeae).

Sensitization to olive oil is seldom reported in the literature. By use of epicutaneous tests a delayed type of hypersensitivity to pure freshly-prepared olive oil could be demonstrated in two patients. Patch tests with certain major constituents of olive oil; the methyl ester of linoleic acid, the glyceryl ester of palmitic acid, the glyceryl ester of stearic acid, glyceryl trioleate and glycerids of arachidic acid, appeared to be negative. In one patient a weak reaction to balsam of Peru was found. It is concluded that sensitization to olive oil must be taken into consideration, especially when it is used as a vehicle in patch testing.

Lichenoid dermatitis in 3 professional footballers.

We describe 3 professional footballers who developed lichenoid dermatitis over a short period of time. Clinically, the eruption in all 3 of them can be classified as lichenoid photodermatitis. We suggest an influence of possible contact allergens or photo-active substances. Histologic evidence points to features of classical lichen planus with purpura, typical of lichen aureus (purpuricus), but showing some clinical and morphological differences.
