Résumé
Pigmentary demarcation lines (PDL), or Voigt-Futcher lines, are lines that mark an abrupt transition between hyperpigmented skin and normal skin. PDLs are more common in Japanese and dark-skinned individuals. Eight types have been described (A-H); Type B is located on the posteromedial aspect of the lower extremities; it is more common in women and is the one most frequently associated with pregnancy. The demarcation lines of pregnancy are of unknown etiology; they appear mainly in the last trimester and disappear spontaneously months after delivery. We report a case of pregnancy-associated PDL with erythema without melanocytic pigmentation in a 23-week-gestational Latin primiparous woman.
