Abstract:
Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis(CRP) is a rare dermatosis. The lesions are hyperkeratotic, verrucous papules and plaques, resulting in a confluence of lesions centrally and a reticulated pattern at the periphery. It is more common in women and during puberty. The histopathological findings show papillomatosis, hyperkeratosis and a sparse superficial perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate. We report a case of CRP that responded to oral etretinate in an 18-year-old man.
