Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (Gougerot-Carteaud)
Abstract:
Seven cases, one female and six males with confluent and reticulated papillomatosis are presented. Age range was 13-25 years and the skin disease had lasted for 6 months to 3 years. Initially, acanthosis nigricans was suspected in all cases as the skin histology was compatible with that diagnosis. Pityrosporum orbiculare was cultured in 4 cases, but treatment with selenium sulfide and miconazole was unsuccessfull. No endocrinological abnormities were revealed. Only associated feature was a marked xeroderma. The importance of the awareness of the disease is stressed.

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.
