“…In our study, the star-like or oval-shaped yellowish areas surrounded by a whitish halo were a distinctive dermoscopic feature of DD, which is consistent with the findings of most previous works [ 30 – 33 ]. However, in the first published study assessing the value of the handheld dermoscope in diagnosing DD, pseudocomedones were the most characteristic feature [ 29 ].…”

“…Only in our study white dots have been reported in more than half of patients, although they were not surrounded by blood vessels, as in patients with HHD. The yellow scale was visible more frequently in our patients with DD (100.0%) than in previous studies [ 31 , 33 ].…”

“…Interest is increasing in the possible application of dermoscopy and videodermoscopy in the diagnostic process of inflammatory skin diseases [ 20 – 23 ]. However, the dermoscopic pattern of HHD and DD has been described in only a few case reports and case series studies [ 24 – 33 ]. The aim of the present study was to assess whether dermoscopy could be a valuable noninvasive diagnostic method that can facilitate differential diagnosis of HHD and DD.…”

“…In the present study, linear blood vessels were visible in all cases, while in a previous publication of Ericchetti et al linear curved vessels were described in only four out of 11 patients with DD [ 31 ]. In another study, dermoscopy did not reveal the presence of blood vessels in patients with DD and a brown to dark skin phototype [ 33 ]. Furthermore, the pink structureless areas were not present in a number of former studies, while in the present study we observed erosions in three cases [ 30 – 32 ].…”

Introduction Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) and Darier disease (DD) are rare genetic disorders for which differential diagnosis, especially in less obvious cases, can be difficult. The diagnosis is based on the clinical picture and family history, and is confirmed by histopathologic examination. Dermoscopy is a noninvasive technique that is primarily used at the present time to diagnose skin cancers. However, in the past few years this technique has also been increasingly used as a noninvasive diagnostic tool of inflammatory skin diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether dermoscopy is a useful noninvasive diagnostic tool for HHD and DD. Methods We performed an observational retrospective case series study involving 13 patients with HHD ( n = 8) and DD ( n = 5). The presence or absence of standardized dermoscopic features of inflammatory diseases (according to International Dermoscopy Society [IDS] guidelines) was assessed in these patients. Results The most distinctive feature of HHD was white clouds separated by pink furrows, visible in all cases (8/8; 100.0%). Another distinctive clue of HHD was the crumbled fabric pattern seen in six patients with HHD (6/8; 75.0%). These dermoscopic findings were not present in patients with DD. The most typical features of DD in the dermoscopic examination was star-like or oval-shaped yellow areas surrounded by whitish halo, visible in all patients (5/5; 100.0%). Another distinctive dermoscopic clue of DD was pinkish homogeneous structureless background, which was present in all patients (5/5, 100.0%). These latter two features were not observed in patients with HHD. Conclusion Dermoscopy reveals distinctive features of HHD and DD, respectively. Therefore, we conclude that dermoscopy can be an excellent complementary noninvasive tool in the diagnostic process of patients with HHD and DD.

(1) Background: Genodermatoses are a clinically and genetically heterogenous group of inherited skin disorders. Diagnosing inherited skin diseases is a challenging task due to their rarity and diversity. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, easily accessible, and rapid tool used in dermatology not only for diagnostic processes but also for monitoring therapeutic responses. Standardized terminologies have been published for its proper use, reproducibility, and comparability of dermoscopic terms. (2) Methods: Here, we aimed to investigate dermoscopic features in various genodermatoses by conducting a systematic review and comparing its results to our own findings, data of patients diagnosed with genodermatoses at the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Dermatooncology, Semmelweis University. (3) Results: Our systematic search provided a total of 471 articles, of which 83 reported both descriptive and metaphoric dermoscopic terminologies of 14 genodermatoses. The literature data were then compared to the data of 119 patients with 14 genodermatoses diagnosed in our department. (4) Conclusion: Dermoscopy is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of genodermatoses, especially when symptoms are mild. To enable the use of dermoscopy as an auxiliary diagnostic method, existing standardized terminologies should be extended to more genodermatoses.
