Abstract
Many consider porcelain white atrophic papules as pathognomonic for malignant atrophic papulosis (MAP), or Degos' disease. During the past three decades, five patients with a collagen vascular disease have been reported to have MAP-like lesions as a manifestation of their underlying illness. We describe a patient with dermatomyositis who had porcelain-white atrophic papules resembling malignant atrophic papulosis.
