2024 March - 13 articles

Cover Story: Galli–Galli disease is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis typically presenting with erythematous macules, papules, and reticulated hyperpigmentation of the flexural areas. A distinct atypical variant is characterized by brown macules on the trunk and extremities without the characteristic reticulated hyperpigmentation. This review examines cases since the disease was first described and summarizes current knowledge regarding its etiology, clinical presentation, histopathology, diagnosis, and treatment. We review the genetic, histopathologic, and clinical similarities between Galli–Galli disease and Dowling–Degos disease, another rare genodermatosis, focusing on the common mutations in KRT5 and POGLUT1. We support the hypothesis that the two diseases may be different phenotypic expressions of the same pathological condition, although traditionally recognized as separate entities. View this paper
