Malignant atrophic papulosis with motor aphasia and intestinal perforation: A case report and review of published works.

ABSTRACT: Malignant atrophic papulosis (MAP) is a rare type of obliterating vasculopathy that can present as pure cutaneous lesions or a systemic entity affecting multiple organs.
