Darier's disease is a rare cutaneous disease with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Greasy papules and plaques arise on the seborrheic areas and in the flexures and almost all patients have nail abnormalities. Acantholysis and dyskeratosis are the typical histological findings. The underlying defect is a result of mutations in the ATP2A2 gene on chromosome 12q23-24 that encodes for a sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA 2). Acantholysis is thought to result from desmosome breakdown. Darier's disease is an example of a dominantly inherited disease caused by haplo-insufficiency. Oral retinoids are the most effective treatment but their adverse effects are troublesome. Topical retinoids, topical corticosteroids, surgery, and laser surgery have their advocates but evidence for efficacy is sparse.
