[Hailey-Hailey disease: A case report].

Background: Hailey-Hailey disease is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis whose cause is the ATP2C1 gene mutation. A prevalence of 1 in 50,000 cases is estimated and it manifests as grouped flaccid vesicles that break easily. The diagnosis is confirmed with the histopathological study creating an appearance called "dilapidated brick wall", identifying dyskeratosis in the form of round bodies and pimples. Treatment ranges from general measures to multiple pharmacological options, with topical corticosteroids being the most commonly used. Clinical case: Male patient diagnosed with Hailey-Hailey disease. On physical examination we observed a dermatosis disseminated to the neck, trunk, axillary and inguinal folds, and intergluteal region, unilateral, asymmetric with a polymorphous appearance, constitution due to exulceration, erythema, some pustules and flaccid vesicles that coalesced to form eczematous and hypertrophic plaques with the presence of fine scales on their surface, with a chronic evolution accompanied by pruritus. We also took the opportunity to review the most relevant information in the literature regarding Hailey-Hailey disease, especially focused on the therapeutic aspect. Conclusions: It is important to take into account that Hailey-Hailey disease is a rare pathology, in order to make a differential diagnosis in daily clinical practice.
