MeSH Heading: Malignant Atrophic Papulosis
Tree Number(s): C14.907.137.520; C14.907.940.530; C17.800.862.457
Unique ID: D054853
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054853
Annotation: malignant does not refer to neoplasm; do not confuse with the neoplasm ACANTHOMA, DEGOS see ACANTHOMA
Scope Note: Variously described as a vasculopathy, endovasculitis, or occlusive arteriopathy, this condition occurs in a benign cutaneous form and a lethal multiorgan systemic variant. It is characterized by a narrowing and occlusion of the lumen of small to medium-sized blood vessels, leading to ischemia and infarction in the involved organ systems. The etiology and pathophysiology are unknown.
Entry Term(s): Degos Disease; Degos Syndrome; Degos's Malignant Atrophic Papulosis; Erythrokeratoderma en cocardes; Kohlmeier-Degos Disease; Papulosis, Malignant Atrophic
