[Treatment of hyperkeratotic dermatoses with an oral aromatic retinoid (Ro 10-9359)]. 1980

H Pehamberger, and S A Esca, and K Holubar

Treatment with an oral aromatic all-trans retinoid (Ro 10-9359) resulted in clearing of the skin lesions in five patients with ichthyosis, four patients with Darier's disease and one patient with linear porokeratosis. No response to treatment was achieved in two patients with disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis. Known side effects of retinoid treatment occurred in all patients in different intensity but disappeared when treatment was discontinued. Due to side effects (pruritus) treatment had to be discontinued only in one patient with Darier's disease and preexisting diabetes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007057 Ichthyosis Any of several generalized skin disorders characterized by dryness, roughness, and scaliness, due to hypertrophy of the stratum corneum epidermis. Most are genetic, but some are acquired, developing in association with other systemic disease or genetic syndrome. Xeroderma,Ichthyoses,Xerodermas

D007644 Darier Disease An autosomal dominantly inherited skin disorder characterized by warty malodorous papules that coalesce into plaques. It is caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding SERCA2 protein, one of the SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM CALCIUM-TRANSPORTING ATPASES. The condition is similar, clinically and histologically, to BENIGN FAMILIAL PEMPHIGUS, another autosomal dominant skin disorder. Both diseases have defective calcium pumps (CALCIUM-TRANSPORTING ATPASES) and unstable desmosomal adhesion junctions (DESMOSOMES) between KERATINOCYTES.
