successful treatment of dowling Degos Disease with er yag laser
Dermatologic Surgery, 2002Co-Authors: Joerg Wenzel, Katja Tappe, Rainer Gerdsen, Manfred Uerlich, Thomas Bieber, Wolfgang G Philippdormston, Welisar PetrowAbstract:background. Dowling–Degos Disease is a rare condition with a genetically determined disturbance of epidermal proliferation. The typical clinical picture is a reticulate pigmentation of the flexures, genital folds, and pectoral skin areas. Many different treatment options have been tried in recent years without a convincing therapeutic benefit. objective. To determine the effectiveness of Er:YAG laser in Dowling-Degos Disease. methods. A 44-year-old woman suffering from Dowling-Degos Disease was treated with the Er:YAG laser pulse energy between 1,000 and 1,200 mJ, three consecutive passes. results.

Dowling–Degos Disease associated with squamous cell carcinomas on the dappled pigmentation
The British journal of dermatology, 2002Co-Authors: M. Ujihara, T. Kamakura, M. Ikeda, H. KodamaAbstract:We report the first case of Dowling-Degos Disease associated with squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) in the pigmented area of Dowling-Degos Disease. A 64-year-old Japanese man manifested dappled pigmentation unusually localized to the buttocks, and two pigmented adenoid SCCs had developed on his left pigmented buttock. The other findings of Dowling-Degos Disease were comedone-like lesions on the face and back, a finger-like fibroma in the right popliteal fossa, dystrophic fingernails, and a large number of seborrhoeic keratosis-like lesions predominantly on the flexural areas. Another unique clinical feature was the lack of vellus hair on the whole body surface. In addition to thin branching and elongation of rete ridges with basal hyperpigmentation, immature hair follicles surrounded by fibrosis and a lace-like pattern of the hair follicle epithelia were observed histologically. These epithelial hamartomatous features were consistent with Dowling-Degos Disease. We speculate that the SCCs developed in relation to an underlying naevoid anomaly in pilosebaceous epithelia of Dowling-Degos Disease.

Degos' Disease mimicking vasculitis.
Arthritis and rheumatism, 2004Co-Authors: Sosa V. Kocheril, Mila Blaivas, Brent E. Appleton, William J. Mccune, Robert W. IkeAbstract:Introduction Degos’ Disease is a rare disorder with multisystem involvement and unknown etiology. This entity was first described by Degos in 1942 (1,2). Other synonyms for this Disease are malignant atrophic papulosis, atrophic papulosquamous dermatitis, fatal cutaneous-intestinal syndrome, and thromboangiitis cutaneointestinalis disseminata (3). It has been more commonly reported in whites, men, and those in the third decade of life, although onset age ranges from 3 weeks to 67 years (4). The average course of the Disease is reported to be around 2 years (1), but case reports of patients with a benign variant have been reported with survival of 14 years (5). Death is most commonly due to intestinal perforation or cerebral infarction. We report a fatal case of Degos’ Disease that presented with abdominal pain and intestinal perforations, which clinically mimicked vasculitis.
