Abstract:
Reactive perforating collagenosis(RPC) is a kind of perforating disorder characterized by the transepidermal elimination of altered dermal collagen. Two types have been recognized; the childhood or inherited form and the adult or acquired form. Acquired RPC is frequently associated with diabetes, chronic renal failure with nephropathy and liver disease. We describe a case of RPC in a 41-year-old woman of about 2 months' duration. She has had a problem of tricuspid regurgitation for 3 years. Skin lesions showed scattered umbilicated papules with central keratotic plugs, 0.3-0.8cm sized, located on the proximal extremities.
