Description
Summary:Dear Editor, Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CRP) is a rare skin disorder in young individuals. It is clinically characterized by slightly hyperkeratotic or verrucous grayish-brown papules coalescing to form a reticulated pattern peripherally with confluent plaques centrally. Sites of predilection are the neck, interscapular, intermammary regions, and abdomen. CRP commonly arises during puberty or in early adulthood. Herein, we describe an atypical case of CRP in which the skin lesions developed not only on the abdomen, as a site of predilection, but also on broad areas of the extremities.
