| Popis: | Background Involvement of the female genital tract by Darier's disease, an unusual genodermatosis, is uncommon, and the manifestation of the disease in a cervicovaginal smear is exceptionally rare. Case A 39-year-old woman had an abnormal Pap smear caused by involvement of the female genital tract by Darier's disease. Cytologic examination showed features consistent with a low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, but during a biopsy it was found to be vaginal involvement by Darier's disease. Conclusion The correct interpretation of cytologic findings is not possible when the diagnosis of Darier's disease is not known since a low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion cannot be ruled out. This case underlines the importance of knowing the patient's medical histoiy in any moment of medical attention. |
