Galli-Galli disease, a rare genodermatosis belonging to the spectrum of reticulate pigment dermatoses, is classified as an acantholytic variant of Dowling-Degos disease on the basis of its characteristic clinical and histological findings. In the context of this case series, Galli-Galli disease is characterized in detail based on the clinical and histopathological evaluation of 18 patients. The disease pattern is discussed in view of the current literature. In addition, a classification into two clinical subtypes is made and a genotype/phenotype correlation with mutations in the keratin 5 (KRT5) gene is established.
