A Case of Unilateral Keratosis Follicularis of Linear Distribution
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Unilateral keratosis follicularis has the same histoogical features of classic Darier's diseases and is considered to be a localized variant of Darier's disease. Unlike classic Darier's disease, it is not related to family history but with a
later
age
of onset, unilateral and linear lesions. Lack of solar aggravation and increased irritation from sweating also characterize this disease.
A 45-year-old female presented with scaly follicular papules in a linear diestribution limited to one side of her lower extremity. There was no family history or other signs of Darier's disease elsewhere in the body. Histopathological features
were
typical of acantholytic dyskeratosis. The condition was aggravated during the summer and regressed with residual pigmentation after topical application of corticosteroid and tretinoin. (Kor J Dermatol 1996;34(6) : 1008~1012)
