Linear Atrophoderma of Moulin: A Rare Case Report and Review of the Literature
Linear atrophoderma of Moulin (LAM) is an uncommon dermatological disease characterised by linear, depressed plaques on the skin. TLAM is a rare condition; we were only able to identify 23 case reports in the published literature. The findings of this report contribute to the limited literature on LAM, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis and management.
Abstract
Linear atrophoderma of Moulin (LAM) is an uncommon dermatological disease characterised by linear, depressed plaques typically following Blaschko’s lines. LAM generally occurs in adolescence or early adulthood and is more commonly observed in females. The aetiology of LAM is still unclear. We report a rare case of LAM in an 18-year-old female presenting with an atypical Blaschkoid distribution (multiple band-like pattern) on her right trunk. A clinical examination and histopathological analysis were performed to make the diagnosis. Partial improvement was obtained with calcipotriol and colchicine. LAM is a rare condition; we were only able to identify 23 case reports in the published literature. The findings of this report contribute to the limited literature on LAM, highlighting the clinical variability of LAM and suggesting potential novel variants beyond the classic presentation, emphasising the importance of recognising diverse manifestations for accurate diagnosis and management. Early recognition of LAM is crucial for appropriate treatment and improved patient outcomes. Further research is needed to elucidate LAM’s aetiology and underlying mechanisms to facilitate the development of more targeted therapeutic strategies.

Semaglutide, delayed gastric emptying, and intraoperative pulmonary aspiration: a case report
Purpose
We report a case in which the use of semaglutide for weight loss was associated with delayed gastric emptying and intraoperative pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents.
Clinical features
A 42-yr-old patient with Barrett’s esophagus underwent repeat upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and ablation of dysplastic mucosa. Two months earlier, the patient had started weekly injections of semaglutide for weight loss. Despite having fasted for 18 hr, and differing from the findings of prior procedures, endoscopy revealed substantial gastric content, which was suctioned before endotracheal intubation. Food remains were removed from the trachea and bronchi using bronchoscopy. The patient was extubated four hours later and remained asymptomatic.
Conclusion
Patients using semaglutide and other glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists for weight management may require specific precautions during induction of anesthesia to prevent pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents.
