Abstract:
White fibrous papulosis of the neck is a rare skin disease that manifests with tiny papules that are distributed on the neck. Thick collagen bundles in the papillary dermis and diminution of the elastic fiber are characteristic on histologic examination. It is thought to be a normal aging process of the skin or an associated disorder. We report here on a case of white fibrous papulosis of the neck of a 49-year-old Korean woman.
