Oral contraceptives in the treatment of Darier-White disease--a case report and review of the literature.

In this review we illustrated the case of a woman who had perimenstrual exacerbations of Darier-White disease. The disease improved markedly with the use of continuously administered oral contraceptives. This striking improvement without side-effects supports the use of oral contraceptives in women with Darier-White disease, although its role should be investigated further using controlled studies in more patients.
