Abstract

The confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CRP) described by Gougerot-Carteaud is a rare cutaneous disease of unknown etiology, which occurs mainly in young adults. There are cases of CRP worldwide and in all racial groups; is seen more frequently in women and in the white race. There is currently no accurate estimate of prevalence in the population. The clinical case of a 26-year-old female patient is referred by a hyperpigmented, slightly scaly dermatosis, predominantly in the anterior cervical region, in addition to the anterior and posterior thorax in the intermammary area and in the lumbar area. He received treatment with tetracyclines and topical retinoids with an adequate response to the treatment used.
