A Case of Confluent And Reticulated Papillomatosis of Gougerot And Carteaud
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Dermatology & Research (IJCDR) - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis of Gougerot and Carteaud is a rare dermatosis of unknown etiology, but distinctive acquired icthyosiform dermatosis seen in young adults and characterized by persistent brown, scaly macules, papules, patches and plaques. Lesions tend to be localized predominantly on the neck, upper trunk and axillae where they tend to be confluent and become reticulated towards the periphery. Herein we present a 26 years old male with asymptomatic hyperpigmented and few raised skin lesions over chest, upper back, axillae and upper arms with a characteristic histopathology suggestive of Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. The importance of differentiating this disease with closely mimicking Pityriasis versicolor and need for prompt treatment of this psychologically upsetting disease in young adults is highlighted.
