Warty dyskeratoma

A rare, benign, epidermal disease characterized by a solitary, asymptomatic, verrucous, skin-coloured to red-brown papule or nodule, which contains a central pore and keratotic plug, occuring most frequently on the scalp, face and neck (rarely, in the mouth, under the nail plate or on the mons pubis). Occasionally, lesions may be multiple and/or pruritic. Histologically, a well-circumscribed, cup-shaped, keratin-filled invagination, with prominent acantholytic dyskeratosis, suprabasilar clefts and villi projecting into the clefts, is observed.

Epidermal nevus

Epidermal naevi are due to an overgrowth of the epidermis and may be present at birth (50%) or develop during childhood.

	Congenital acantholytic dyskeratotic dermatosis: localized Darier disease or disseminated benign papular acantholytic dermatosis?
	Bergua P, Puig L, Fernandez-Figueras MT, Baselga E, Alomar A. Pediatr Dermatol. 2003;20(3):262-5.
	These typical features are distinctive but not entirely pathognomonic of Darier disease, since they may occur at cutaneous and mucocutaneous sites in other conditions such as Grover disease, acantholytic and dyskeratotic epidermal nevus (nevus of Starink), warty dyskeratoma, or acantholytic papular dermatosis localized to the vulvocrural area.
