Myelodysplastic syndrome and transient acantholytic dermatosis

ABSTRACT

Focal acantbolytic dyskeratosis consistent with the clinical and histological features of Darier’s type of transient acantholytic dermatosis occurred in a man with myelodysplasia. Topical steroids and systemic antihistamines provided temporary and moderate relief from pruritus, but failed to control the dermatosis.
