Guttate leukoderma and acrokeratosis verruciformis of Hopf: a rare combination in Darier disease.

Abstract excerpt

A distinct Darier phenotype presenting with confetti-like hypopigmented macules was first described in 1965. Designated as "guttate leukoderma," this skin finding is a rarely-reported presentation of Darier disease.
