A beautiful image of the basement membrane highlighted by PAS. Basement membrane thickening is a useful clue in discoid lupus erythematosus, alongside interface dermatitis, follicular plugging, and periadnexal inflammation.

This is Galli-Galli disease (GGD), an autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by KRT5 or POGLUT1 mutations. It presents with reticulated hyperpigmented macules and papules, typically in flexural areas (neck, axillae, inframammary, and inguinal folds); generalized involvement of the trunk and extremities is less common.
Histopathology: hyperkeratosis, reticulated epidermal pattern with follicular plugging, and suprabasal acantholysis.
DDx:
Dowling-Degos disease (DDD): Clinically similar reticulated pigmentation; histology shows branching rete ridges and basal hyperpigmentation, but no acantholysis.
Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CARP): Hyperkeratotic papules/plaques on the trunk and neck; histology with papillomatosis and acanthosis, lacking acantholysis or epidermal reticulation.
Granular parakeratosis: Red-brown keratotic papules in axillae; histology shows parakeratosis with retained keratohyalin granules, no acantholysis or reticulation.
Transient acantholytic dyskeratosis (Grover’s disease): Pruritic papulovesicles on the trunk in older men; histology with focal acantholysis and dyskeratosis, without reticulated pigmentation.
