Abstract:
We present two oases of Eruptive Vellus Hair Cysts(EVHC) in 30- year-old and 27- year old women. They had 6 to 10 discrete, asymptomatic, brown or reddish brown papules on the neck, axilla, chest and extremities. The clinical impressions were epidermal cyst and steatocystoma multiplex espectively, but histopathological exarnination revealed smal1 cysts in middermis containing numerous vellus hairs cut transversely or obliquely and surrounding granulomatous foreign body reaction typical to EVHC. Transepithelial elimination was not found.
