Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis subsiding spontaneously after delivery: Report of one case

Abstract

Gougerot and Carteaud confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CARP) is an uncommon dermatosis characterized by hyperpigmented scaly macules or papillomatous papules coalescing into confluent patches or plaques centrally with a reticular pattern peripherally. We report a 28-year-old woman presenting at 16 weeks of gestation with an itchy rash that was biopsied and turned out to be consistent with CARP. Options for treatment were discussed but the woman refused to take any systemic therapy and used only moisturizers throughout her pregnancy. The rash subsided spontaneously after delivery.

Antiretroviral-responsive confluent and reticulated papillomatosis: a case report of an unusual association

“…and negative fungal stain further support a non-conventional etiology of his lesions. It is worth mentioning that few cases of spontaneous resolution of CRP have been reported to date within the literature [3, 4]. However, the time for resolution in these cases was no less than 12 months since onset, as compared to only 5 weeks in our patient.…”

“…However, the time for resolution in these cases was no less than 12 months since onset, as compared to only 5 weeks in our patient. This observation in particular is what prompted us to consider a possible role of the antiretroviral therapy in the very rapid resolution of CRP in our patient [3, 4].…”

“…4 Uma teoria sugere que a alteração da diferenciação e maturação dos queratinócitos tenha papel central. 5 Esta é sustentada por achados de microscopia eletrónica evidenciando alteração arquitetural das células da camada córnea, além da proliferação de grânulos lamelares nos queratinócitos da granulosa. Tal hipótese é ainda reforçada pelos achados histopatológicos, além do benefício no uso de retinóides e análogos da vitamina D. 4 Outra teoria especula que os achados se devem a reação anormal da epiderme secundária a microrganismos.…”

“…3 Destaca-se ainda que é provável que exista predisposição genética para o desenvolvimento de PRC, uma vez que estão descritos casos familiares. 3,5 A PRC acomete todas as raças, gêneros e faixas etárias, com predileção discreta por adolescentes e adultos jovens do sexo feminino. Observa-se uma tendência ao acometimento de sujeitos de fototipos mais altos e entre 10 e 35 anos.…”
