Abstract

We present a case of transient acantholytic dermatosis which developed on the face of a 19-year-old Korean girl. Asyrnptomatic pinhead to miliary-grain sized brownish papules arranged in a somewhat band-like outbreak along the left side of the nose for about 3 months. Histopathologic findings were similar to Dariers disease. Immunoperoxidase staining showed that IgG was deposited on the intercellular area of keratinocytes around the suprabasal clefts. Skin lesions disappeared spontaneously in 5 weeks after a skin biopsy.
