Abstract:
Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis is a papulosquamous disorder that affects young individuals. There are several hypotheses regarding the cause, including genetic keratinization disorder, reaction to pityrosporum, and reaction to UV light. Multiple therapeutic agents have been used with variable success. The histologic findings include papillomatosis, hyperkeratosis, and minimal or no acanthosis. We present a patient with the clinical findings of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis who responded dramatically to minocycline, and in whom histologic examination did not reveal papillomatosis.

The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
