Article Synopsis
  • Kyrle disease is an acquired perforating disorder linked to conditions like type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, characterized by skin lesions that show transepidermal elimination of dermal contents upon histopathological examination.
  • In the reported case, the patient exhibited only hyperuricemia as an abnormal lab finding, with no typical associated conditions present, making the cause of the disease unclear.
  • Treatment focused on addressing the underlying issues; however, the patient saw improvement with medications like acitretin, dapsone, and topical corticosteroids, highlighting the need for more research on factors like hyperuricemia in cases lacking classic associations.

Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is the most common form of the perforating dermatoses, which include RPC, elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS), perforating folliculitis (PF), and Kyrle disease (KD). In RPC, altered collagen of the dermis is extruded through the epidermis, which can be misdiagnosed as other skin diseases, such as vasculitis or prurigo nodularis. RPC is associated with a number of conditions, including diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, and renal failure, and thus the management of the coexisting diseases is important.
