Özet

Darier's disease is an inherited dermatosis of hair follicles characterized by hyperkeratotic papules. The trunk and scalp are usually affected. Comedonal Darier's disease is a rare subtype of Darier's disease. Comedonal lesions are seen beside the typical signs. Our case was a 59-year-old woman presented with hyperkeratotic papules and comedonal lesions on her bilateral axillary area and trunk, and below the breasts. Focal parakeratosis, acantholytic dyskeratotic cells in these focuses, basophilic nuclear dusts, clefts, edema and perivascular nonspecific mononuclear cells infiltrations in dermis were found in histopathological investigations. We decided to report this case because comedonal Darier is a rare form of Darier's disease and there are only few reported cases in the literature.
