An Interesting case report of Reactive Perforating Collagenosis coexisting with keloids
Abstract
itchy raised skin lesions of 5 years duration. Examination
revealed multiple scaly umbilicated papules and nodules all
over the body with koebnerisation and few varioliform scars at
some sites. Multiple keloids were seen over the lateral aspect
of abdomen, one of which showed overlying umbilicated
papule. A clinical diagnosis of Reactive Perforating
Collagenosis RPC and keloid coexisting at same site was
made and confirmed by biopsy.The underlying common
pathogenic factor between RPC and keloid involving
fibronectin has been discussed subsequently.
