Abstract:
A 34-year-old female patient presented multiple 1-2mm sized dark brown coloured keratin plugs, within dilated follicles on the lower extremities from the birth. Histopathological findings showed a wide and deep invagination of the epidermis filled with keratin plugs which is a typical feature of nevus comedonicus, and the presence of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis on the epidermis and follicular wall. On another area, histopathological findings showed the presence of hyperkeratosis, acanthosis and epidermolytic hyperkeratosis of the epidermis; there are common changes of systematized epidermal nevus. We herein report a case of nevus comedonicus with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.
