A Case of Flexural Darier' s Disease
Abstract
- Dariers disease is a domirantly inherited skin disease that is characterized by keratotic papules predominantly on the sebornieic areas, palmar pits, and a nail dystrophy. The diagnosis is difficult in the small group with flexural involvement because the features of flexural Dariers disease overlap clinically and histolopica.lly with those of Hailey-Hailey disease. The diagnosis of Dariers disease may be confirmed if the patient has the pathognomonic nail dystrophy. We presents a case of flexured. Dariers disease in a 65 year old woman. She has suffered from skin lesions which have some resemblance to those of Hailey-Hailey disease. We could diagnose her skin lesions as Dariers disease because she had the eharacteristic nail dystrophy.
