Abstract:
Colloid miliurn consists of yellowish translucent papules or plecques on the light-exposed skin. Histologically, colloid milium shows sharply circumscribed masses of a fissured, homogeneous, faintly eosinophilic material in the upper third of the dermis. The authors present three elderly female patients of colloid milium who had yellowish translucent papules on the face and dorsum of the hands. The incidence of the disorder may be heigher than has been suspected.
