Abstract
Terra firma-forme dermatosis (TFFD), which is characterized by dirt like brown hyperpigmented papillomatous plaques, is an asymptomatic keratinization disorder of an unknown etiology. Development of lesions is not associated with inadequate hygiene. The most important feature of the disease is that the lesions cannot be removed by washing with soap and water, while they can only be removed by rubbing with 70% isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol. Here, we present a child with terra firma-forme dermatosis who has been previously diagnosed with epidermal nevus. (Turkderm 2013; 47: 187-9)
Özet
Terra firma-form dermatozu (TFFD) kir benzeri kahverengi hiperpigmente papillamatöz plaklarla karakterize etyolojisi tam olarak bilinmeyen, asemptomatik bir keratinizasyon bozukluğudur. Lezyonların gelişimi hijyen bozukluğu ile ilişkisizdir. Hastalığın en önemli özelliği lezyonların su- sabunla giderilemezken sadece %70 izopropil veya etil alkolle silinebilmesidir. Burada daha önce epidermal nevüs tanısı alan terra firma-form dermatozlu bir çocuk olgu sunulmaktadır. (Türkderm 2013; 47: 187-9)
