Gougerot-Carteaud papillomatosis
Related people
Progressive papillomatosis with onset after puberty, appearing between the breasts and in the midline of the back as round, discrete and confluent grey-brown papules, slightly cornified lesions with sharply defined borders. The lesions are about 1 to 2 mm in diameter at the onset, eventually attaining a size of 4 to 5 mm. They evolve in color from bright red to grey and brown. As the epidermis thickens, the lesions increase in size and some may resemble juvenile warts. The eruption typically forms a rhomboid outline, eventually spreading over the breasts and toward the pubis, sacrum, and other area. Autosomal dominant inheritance suggested.
