She had multiple erythematous papules with porcelain-white atrophic centers on the trunk and extremities. Also she suffered from intermittent nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. She received appendectomy for abdominal pain 2 months ago. Histopathologic studies showed atrophic epidermis and necrobiotic dermis. There were endothelial thickening, fibrinoid necrosis of bload vessels, perivascular lymphocytic infiltation in the lower dermis.
