Kyrle's disease. Effectively treated with isotretinoin.
Kyrle's disease is an uncommon dermatologic entity with characteristic clinical and histopathologic features. A case is recorded in a 63-year-old man undergoing hemodialysis for chronic renal failure. Systemic isotretinoin treatment for 13 weeks resulted in a complete clearance of the cutaneous lesions. Systemic treatment is effective and could be considered preferred therapy.
