A 14-year-old girl developed brownish round macules and patches over the face, trunk, and proximal limbs with extensive progression since she was 7 years old. Electron microscopy examination revealed an increase in the number and maturity of melanosomes in basal and suprabasal keratinocytes, although the number of melanocytes was within the normal range. A diagnosis of idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation was made. We describe the unusual disease progression of this case of idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation, which was thought to be self-limited.
