Malignant atrophic papulosis (Degos disease) is a rare syndrome of multiple-system vascular diseases with unknown etiology. It can affect the skin, gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. Here, we report a 58-year-old woman with extensive porcelain-white atrophic papules. Based on the clinical manifestations, skin biopsy and colonoscopy, a diagnosis of malignant atrophic papulosis was confirmed.
