Abstract

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CRP) is a rare disorder of unknown origin, mostly affecting young female adults. The eruption comprises confluent, flat, brown papules localized primarily to the intermammary and interscapular regions with subsequent spread to the breast and abdomen. At the periphery, the papules spread out forming a pigmented reticulated pattern. As the exact pathophysiology of CRP remains unknown, various treatment modalities have been proposed, such as antifungal agents, salicylic acids, retinoids and selenium sulfide. However, response to those modalities has been unsatisfactory. Recently, treatment with various antibiotics has been reported. We report a case of a 23-year-old woman diagnosed with CRP who responded well to the antibiotic doxycycline.

Özet

Konflüan ve retiküle papillomatoz (KRP) nedeni bilinmeyen nadir bir hastalık olup sıklıkla genç kadınları etkiler. Döküntü; konflüan, düz, kahverengi papüllerden oluşup esas olarak göğüs arası ve interskapüler bölgede ortaya çıkarak göğüs ve karın bölgesine yayılır. Papüllerin çevreye doğru yayılması ile pigmente ağsı bir patern oluşur. KRP’nin patofizyolojisi kesin olarak bilinmediğinden; antifungal ajanlar, salisilik asit, retinoidler, kalsipotriol, selenyum sülfit gibi çok çeşitli tedavi seçenekleri denenmiştir. Ancak bu tedavilerle alınan yanıt tatmin edici değildir. Yakın zamanda çeşitli antibiyotiklerin kullanıldığı olgular bildirilmiştir. Burada KRP tanısı alan ve doksisikline iyi yanıt alınan 23 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunulmuştur.
