Dowling-Degos disease and hidradenitis suppurativa: Co occurrence or association?

Dowling-Degos disease associated with hidradenitis suppurativa: a case report.

Dowling-Degos disease (DDD) or reticular pigmented anomaly of the flexures is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis with variable penetrance. It mainly affects young women and is characterized by acquired reticular hyperpigmentation of the large skin folds. We present a case of DDD associated with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in a 43-year-old Spanish woman. Physical examination revealed bro...

Hidradenitis suppurativa, Dowling-Degos and multiple epidermal cysts: a new follicular occlusion triad.

This case illustrates the rare association between hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Dowling-Degos disease (DDD). Furthermore the association of HS, DDD and multiple epidermal cysts has not to our knowledge been described before, but their coexistence in the same patient is likely to reflect the same follicular anomaly. It is possible that a single underlying defect of follicular proliferation ...

Dowling-Degos disease.

Dowling-Degos disease (DDD) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited pigmentary disorder of the flexures with a reticulate aspect and with presence of prominent comedone-like lesions and pitted scars. The diagnosis includes acanthosis nigricans as well as other reticulate pigmentary disorders classified into: dyschromatrosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH), dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DU...

Association of Dowling-Degos disease and multiple seborrheick-eratosis in a “Christmas tree pattern”

  Dowling-Degos disease is a rare sporadic or autosomal dominant pigmentary entity, in which clusters of papules and reticulate macules slowly develop with predominance in flexural regions. This entity is due to mutations in the keratin 5 gene, and is related with other cutaneous disorders. We report the sporadic form of Dowling-Degos disease in an elderly man with multiple seborrheickeratosis ...
