Abstract

Darier's disease is a well-known genodermatosis characterized by recurrent waxy, hyperkeratotic papules usually occurring over the seborrheic area. The major histopathological changes are characteristic acantholysis and dyskeratosis which are diagnostic of the disease with typical clinical features. There are less common variants including the hypertrophic, vesicobullous and linear type. However, comedonal lesions are very rare. We report an unusual case of Darier's disease, which showed prominent comedonal papules and plaques over the face, scalp and upper trunk with the typical findings of Darier's disease.
