Background: RPD are characterized by a phenomenon of transepidermal elimination.

Material and method: A retrospective study of 55 years was made in the Dermatopathology department of the CDP. Biopsies with diagnosis of RPD were studied, registering epidemiological, clinic and histological data. Results: There were 9 biopsies with the diagnosis of RPD.

According to the histological findings and special stains we obtained: 5 cases of Kyrle disease, 2 of active perforating collagenosis, 1 case of perforating serpiginous elatosis and 1 case of perforating folliculitis. Conclusion: To obtain the correct diagnosis, the material that presents transepidermal elimination must be identified by special stains and an adequate clinical-pathological correlation must be made.
