A Giant Variant of Acquired Perforating Collagenosis in Chronic Renal Failure / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is one of a range of essential perforating disorders. Two types have been recognized the childhood or inherited form, and the adult or acquired form. Acquired RPC is usually associated with systemic disease, especially diabetes mellitus and/or renal failure. Lesions of acquired perforating collagenosis are usually smaller than 1 cm, but lesions of the giant variant of acquired perforating collagenosis are larger than 2 cm. We present a case of the giant variant of acquired perforating collagenosis, which has not previously been documented in Korea.
