Kyrle disease: report of a Tunisian case

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Kyrle disease is an uncommon perforating dermatosis which is commonly associated with systemic disorders such as diabete mellitus and renal failure. A 60-year-old man, with no past medical history, consulted for purpuric, infiltrated and crusted lesions of extremities, buttocks and scalp. A punch biopsy showed a hyperkeratotic horny plug invaginating the epidermis. The diagnosis of Kyrle disease was retained. The clinicopathological features of this disease and its therapeutic problems are discussed.
