Summary Agminated lentiginosis is an unusual pigmentary disorder, characterized by numerous lentigines grouped within an area of normal skin. The pigmented macules are often in a segmental distribution within a sharp demarcation at the midline. We encountered a 28‐year‐old woman with an unusual combination of multiple café‐au‐lait macules and diffuse numerous lentigines involving the right cheek and ipsilateral upper thorax with sharp demarcation at the midline. The multiple lentigines extended bilaterally over the back in a peppered distribution. There were 21 café‐au‐lait macules on both arms, and the trunk and buttocks; however, there were no Lisch nodules, neurofibromas, or any other clinical manifestations for neurofibromatosis. Histopathology of a macule revealed the features of lentigo.
