Histopathological Differences Between Early and Old Lesions of Hyperkeratosis Lenticularis Perstans (Flegel's Disease)

Abstract: A case of hyperkeratosis lenticularis perstans (Flegel's disease) was studied histopathologically comparing early and old lesions. The age of the lesions were judged by both the patient's history and direct observation. The histopathologic and immunophenotypic features of a new lesion were essentially in accordance with previous findings. However, the old lesion had obviously different pathologic features. These included the absence of epidermal atrophy and infiltrate in the upper dermis under the lesion. Ultr… Show more

“…These characteristics vary between new and old lesions. 3 In new lesions there is more atrophy and inflammation, in agreement with our findings. There is a lack of consensus among ultrastructural studies; some suggest that there is a reduction in the number of Odland bodies, while others disagree.…”

“…the presence of many normal appearing Odland bodies in the keratinocytes of the old lesion whereas the organelles were not found in the keratinocytes of the early lesion. 5 No sex predilection is apparent. Except for the possibility that lesion may progress slowly and involve more proximal sites, prognosis for hyperkeratosis lenticularis perstans is excellent.…”

“…In der Basalschicht kann es zu einem gewissen Grad von Vakuolisierung kommen. Das histopathologische Erscheinungsbild verändert sich mit dem Alter der Läsionen: bei neueren Läsionen ist das entzündliche Infiltrat auffällig und die Epidermis erscheint atrophisch [8]. Die Histopathologie des vorgestellten Falles entspricht einer typischen älteren HPL-Läsion ohne markantes entzündliches Infiltrat, aber mit verminderten Papillarkörpern [8].…”

“…Das histopathologische Erscheinungsbild verändert sich mit dem Alter der Läsionen: bei neueren Läsionen ist das entzündliche Infiltrat auffällig und die Epidermis erscheint atrophisch [8]. Die Histopathologie des vorgestellten Falles entspricht einer typischen älteren HPL-Läsion ohne markantes entzündliches Infiltrat, aber mit verminderten Papillarkörpern [8]. Bei der elektronenmikroskopischen Betrachtung der HLP ist die typischste Eigenschaft die Abwesenheit oder Verminderung von Keratinosomen, die zwar nicht immer auftritt [7], aber möglicherweise den Ursprung dieser Verhornungsstörung erklärt.…”
