Senile gluteal dermatosis (SGD) is a common but seldom recognized condition. It is characterized clinically by unilateral or bilateral hyperkeratotic, lichenified plaques on the gluteal area, being attributed to prolonged sitting, particularly in the elderly. SGD also encompasses the recently proposed entity of prurigiform angiomatosis. Histologically, there are features of lichenification, such as epidermal hyperplasia and a preserved granular layer, with prominent dermal angioproliferation. We report 4 cases of this condition as well as novel findings of variably increased mast cells and superficial lymphatic vessels in addition to the proliferation of dermal blood vessels. We propose a unifying name for Reactive Epidermal hyperplasia and Angiogenesis of the Rear (REAR) to encapsulate the characteristic clinical and histological features of this distinct entity.
