Abstract
- Progressive zosteriform macular pigmented lesion (PZMPL) is a rare pigmentary disorder characterized by uniformly tanned macular pigmented lesions in a zosteriform distribution preceded by multiple pruritic macular pigmentation in a part of the dermatome for a period. We herein report a case of PZMPL which has developed along the left T3-5 dermatome in a 48-year-old man. The histological findings revealed increased melanin pigments in the basal layer and focal pigmentary incontinence in the upper dermis. PZMPL may be differentiated from progressive cribrifom and zosteriform hyperpigmentation in the clinical and histological manifestations.
