A Case of Darier's Disease
Abstract
- A case of Dariers disease was presented and the literatures were reviewed. The patient was 20 year old male whose skin lesions revealed normal skin colored, dirty, scaly, keratotic papules with mild itching on face, anterior chest, back, abdomen, axillae, groins and flexural surfaces of extremities. They had a tendency to aggrevate in summer and improve in winter. Histopathologically, suprabasal lacunae, hyperkeratosis, papiIIomatosis, moderate degree of acanthosis and corps ronds in Iacuna were demonstrated in the epidermis. Dermal papillae surrounded with single layer of basal cells proliferated inta the lacunae. Upper dermis revealed mild nonspecific inflammatory cell infiltrates.
