Chloasma uterinum consists of an abnormal deposition of skin pigment without dysfunction of the skin in the epidermis itself or immediately below it, and appears as large yellowish or blackish-brown spots on the face and trunk. Patients are almost always sure that they suffer from the liver and with complaints of an abnormal liver go to the doctor. It is very rare to observe the appearance of chloasma before puberty or after menopause. Usually it develops in the prime of sexual activity.
