  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 ...

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...

Dowling –Degos disease is a rare condition. It is inherited by an autosomal dominant gene. It usually presents in adult life as small, pigmented, asymptomatic macules in flexural regions. We report a 35-year-old woman with Dowling- Degos disease, in whom the reticular pigmentation confined to the genital area.

Degos disease, also referred to as malignant atrophic papulosis, was first described in 1941 by Köhlmeier and was independently described by Degos in 1942. Degos disease is characterized by diffuse, papular skin eruptions with porcelain-white centers and slightly raised erythematous telangiectatic rims associated with bowel infarction. Although the etiology of Degos disease is unknown, autoimmu...

This entity is due to mutations in the keratin 5 gene, and is related with other cutaneous disorders.

A 18-year-old male patient's case was diagnosed as Degos'disease with pathognomonic skin lesions, accompanied by small bowel perforation, and reported here. Skin histopothological test show that the typical wedge-shaped necrobiosis and lymphocyte inflammatory infiltration. Vessels showed narrowing and thrombosis, with lymphocyte infiltration. Degos' disease is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis....

Dowling Degos disease is a rare condition inherited as autosomal dominant trait characterized by numerous, asymptomatic, symmetrical, progressive, small, round-pigmented macules over axillae and groins, face, neck, arms and trunk, scattered comedo-like lesions (dark dot follicles) and pitted acneiform scars. Histopathology is diagnostic. We are hereby reporting three cases of Dowling Degos dise...
