Overview
A 32-year-old woman suffered for 6 years on the inner side of both breasts from persistenterythematous foci with swollen margins on the smooth surface. The foci gradually spread in a lateraldirection. The disease was subjectively asymptomatic. Bioptic examination of the affected skinrevealed perivascular and perifollicular lymphocyte infiltrates affecting the entire dermis withoutepidermotropism. Also throughout the corium there were mucin deposits between the collagenfibres. Delagil treatment led to disappearance of the foci within four weeks.
