A 6-year-old girl with no significant medical history and
who was not undergoing treatment, presented a 5-month
history of multiple, scattered, asymptomatic, yellowish
papulo-nodules with soft-elastic consistency in the vulva.
Multiple, slightly papular, brownish plaques were on the
inner side of her thighs and upper part of the back and neck
(Fig. 1). Darier’s sign was negative for all lesions. Complete
physical examination revealed no other anomaly, no other
systemic complaints were present, and laboratory findings
were normal.
A skin biopsy of a nodule was performed (Fig. 2).
