Darier-White disease treated with oral isotretinoin

Darier-White Disease (DWD) is an autosomal dominant disorder, described by Darier and White in 1889, characterized by abnormal keratinization in the epidermis, nails and mucosae. We present the case of a 16-year-old, male patient, with clinically and histologically confirmed DWD treated with oral isotretinoin (0.7 mg/kg/day) for six months, with good response. We recommend an optional therapeutic treatment for chronic, itchy, recalcitrant lesions with oral retinoids.
