Acral Darier's disease: report of a case complicated by Kaposi's varicelliform eruption.
We report a case of acral Darier's disease in a 16-year-old Korean boy that was complicated by Kaposi's varicelliform eruption. It is uncommon in Darier's disease for dyskeratotic papules to be limited to acral areas. In our patient, Kaposi's varicelliform eruption occurred on the face where there were no preexisting lesions of Darier's disease.
