‘En coup de sabre’ is characterized by sclerotic lesions distributed in a linear, band-like fashion on the frontoparietal scalp and forehead. Less commonly, skin lesions may extend to the nose, cheek and upper lip. Lesions extending down to the chin and neck are extremely rare. Here in, the authors are reporting a case of ‘en coup de sabre’ where the lesions extend from scalp to the neck.ÂReferences
