Abstract
This present report describes a rare case of the hypopigmented skin lesion with a unique appearance. A six-year-old female child was presented with multiple, round, white-colored hypopigmented lesions on the dorsal aspect of the left distal forearm since birth, which has been reported for its unique clinical presentation, rarity, and dermatoscopic features. In this case, the dermatoscopic findings were different in pattern, a net or chain-like appearance which consisted of linear, large regular circular networks of hypopigmented lesions. The patient's parent denied for a skin biopsy because of the asymptomatic nature of the lesions. The musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular and ophthalmological examination didn't reveal any abnormality. The parents were explained about the skin lesion. As it is non-progressive, it does not require any treatment. To our knowledge, this is the rarely reported entity that has a unique appearance of hypopigmented skin lesion associated with cobblestone or a chain like appearance.
