CRP occurs predominantly in young adults and teenagers, with cosmetically displeasing brown scaling patches and plaques affecting the neck, upper trunk and axillae. Frequently, the diagnosis is delayed and the disorder not recognized by physicians, including dermatologists. Clinically, the eruption is most often confused with tinea versicolor. Potassium hydroxide staining of the scale is negative in the majority of cases, implying that fungi are not involved in the pathogenesis of this condition, as has been previously proposed. It is important to recognize this disorder, because minocycline therapy is highly effective in most patients. Criteria for the diagnosis are proposed.

“…Als pathogenetische Faktoren werden endokrinologische Störun-gen [10,12] wie auch eine abnorme Wirtsreaktion auf Pityrosporon orbiculare [13,17,19] diskutiert. Andere Autoren halten die PCR für eine Variante einer Hautamyloidose [8] oder der Pseudoacanthosis nigricans [12], für einen genetischen Keratinisierungsdefekt [4,19] oder für eine familiär gehäuft auftretende Erkrankung [11].…”

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis is a fairly rare dermatosis of still unknown origin affecting mostly female young adults. The lesions are mainly localized in the midline of the trunk. Systemic treatment is the treatment of choice because the disease is resistant to topical therapy and recurrences are often seen. In recent publications retinoids and minocycline have been reported as the favourite therapeutic approaches. We successfully treated a 19-year-old-girl with azithromycin resulting in a complete healing of all skin lesions. The patient has been free of disease for five months. Based on our own case and data in literature, azithromycin is an effective, reasonable and safe therapeutic alternative.

After we could demonstrate amyloid deposits both histochemically and ultrastructurally in the papillary body of typical skin lesions in 1 patient with ‘papillomatose papuleuse confluente et réticulée’ Gougerot-Carteaud (PCR), 2 other patients of our clinic already known to suffer from PCR were reinvestigated. Here, too, a similar amyloid storage was noted. In this paper, possible hypotheses concerning the etiopathology of these new results are proposed and the nosological significance of our findings is discussed, i.e. the PCR might lose its identification as a distinct pathological entity by the fact that 3 cases with the clinical picture of PCR can be subsumed under the nosological entity of primary localized skin amyloidoses.
