Relapsing linear acantholytic dermatosis

Relapsing linear acantholytic dermatosis

Clinical features Relapsing linear acantholytic dermatosis (Hailey-Hailey-like epidermal nevus) is an exceptionally rare nevus-like condition characterized by erythematous plaques with vesicles and erosions arranged in a linear distribution along Blaschko lines.1โ€“3 It typically undergoes spontaneous resolution followed by recurrence and has a chronic course. Insufficient cases have been documented to precisely determine its relationship to Hailey-Hailey disease.

Recent data, however, demonstrate that at least some of the patients harbor mutations in the gene responsible for Hailey-Hailey disease, ATP2C1. The disease has been shown to be a type 2 mosaicism according to Happle, resulting in homozygosity for the mutated gene and pronounced disease in a segmental distribution superimposed on more classical disease in a heterozygous individual.4โ€“7

Histologic features The features are indistinguishable from Hailey-Hailey disease.
