Abstract

Cutis verticis gyrata is classified into primary and secondary types. It can be seen in association with chronic inflammatory dermatologic diseases, tumors, and chromosomal and inherited disorders. Here, we describe a patient of Darier’s disease presenting with cutis verticis gyrata involving scalp expanding to his forehead leading to leonine face.
