Linear Darier disease

Dermatol Online J. 2008 Dec 15;14(12):11.

Abstract

Darier disease is an uncommon genodermatosis characterized by verrucous papules in a seborrheic distribution. The linear form of this disease is rare and could result from genetic mosaicism in this autosomal dominant disorder. We report a case of linear Darier disease that involved the right lower limb with a zosteriform distribution.
