Abstract:
Darier disease is a genodermatosis with a pattern of autosomal dominant inheritance, which occasionally presents by following a linear or segmental pattern. We present the case of a 22-year-old woman who had presented for three years with small, linearly distributed, yellowish-brown papules on the right lower extremity, with no other skin, mucous membrane or appendage involvement. She had no personal or family history of any interest. Histologically, suprabasal acantholysis and abundant dyskeratotic cells were seen. All of this data led to the diagnosis of linear Darier disease.
