Abstract:
Atrophic papulosis (Köhlmeier-Degos disease) is a rare thrombo-occlusive vasculopathy classically presenting with multiple porcelain-white atrophic papules and a high risk of progression to systemic involvement. We report a 2-year-old girl presenting with clinical, dermoscopic, and histologic findings of atrophic papulosis with only a solitary lesion. She had no progression of disease over the subsequent four years. This case suggests that solitary lesions of atrophic papulosis may remain clinically stable over extended follow-up.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
