Generalised Dowling-Degos Disease: A Rare Variant with Hypopigmented Macules

Dowling Degos disease is characterised by hyperpigmented macules arranged in a reticulate pattern in the flexures. The rare hypopigmented variant shows characteristic acanthosis with antler like rete ridges but with pigment only at the tips of the rete ridges. We describe here a rare variant with coexistence of characteristic reticulate hyperpigmentation and hypopigmented macules, which has bee...

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 ...
