Abstract

Partial unilateral lentiginosis is a rare pigmentary disorder characterized by multiple lentigines on otherwise normal skin affecting one side of the body. The histology is that of a lentigo. We report two young men with an extensive form of partial unilateral lentiginosis affecting the skin. No systemic abnormalities could be identified.
