Abstract

Bier spots are usually characterized by asymptomatic, irregularly shaped hypopigmented macules on extremities. Clinical diagnosis is simple when macules disappear by application of pressure to surrounding skin on diascopy or elevation of the extremities. Although it is usually idiopathic, secondary causes such as pregnancy, cryoglobulinemia, hyperhidrosis are reported. Secondary causes should be ruled out in suspicious cases of Bier spots which is in differential diagnosis of hypopigmented macules. We herein report a health male patient who presented with white extremity macules.

Klinik tanı çevre deriye uygulanan diaskopik basınçla ya da ekstremite elevasyonu ile lezyonların kaybolması ile kolayca konur.

Hipopigmente maküllerin ayırıcı tanısına giren bu tabloda şüpheli durumlarda sekonder nedenler dışlanmalıdır.
