Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: An 8-year-old girl presented with a persistent 5 × 2-cm violaceous doughy plaque on the left lower leg. Histologic examination revealed hyperkeratosis, variable but mild epidermal hyperplasia, and vacuolar interface changes with melanin pigment incontinence confined to the papillary dermis. A diagnosis of pretibial lymphoplasmacytic plaque in children was made. This report outlines the clinical characteristics of this entity and a review of other cases reported in the literature.
