Reflectance confocal microscopy for the diagnosis of Galli-Galli disease

[Galli-Galli disease presenting as lichenoid papules in the flexures].

Galli-Galli disease is a rare genodermatosis currently regarded as an acantholytic variant of Dowling-Degos disease. The 2 diseases have the same clinical features: reticular hyperpigmented macules in the great skin folds, erythematous scaly papules and plaques, comedo-like lesions, and pitted perioral scars, and the only differentiating characteristic is the histological finding of acantholysi...

Reflectance Confocal Microscopy for Diagnosis of Mammary Paget's Disease.

Mutations in POGLUT1 in Galli–Galli/Dowling–Degos disease

DEAR EDITOR, The group of reticulate pigmentary disorders includes the rare autosomal dominant Dowling–Degos disease (DDD) and Galli–Galli disease (GGD; OMIM 179850, 615327 and 615696). 1 In light of substantial clinical, histological and mutational overlap between GGD and DDD, they are considered to belong to the same entity. 2,3 Mutations in KRT5 (encoding keratin 5) have been associated with...

Galli-Galli Disease: A Rare Acantholytic Variant of Dowling-Degos Disease

Galli-Galli disease is a rare acantholytic variant of Dowling-Degos disease, with few cases reported in the literature. We describe a case of Galli-Galli disease and review the literature.

Reflectance confocal microscopy of mammary Paget disease

Mammary Paget disease is the intraepidermal adenocarcinoma of the nipple area which is characterized usually by a well-demarcated eczematous plaque. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), is an in vivo noninvasive diagnostic tool with a high-resolution imaging of the skin, almost comparable to conventional histology. RCM findings of Paget disease are limited in the literature. Most of the repor...
