Abstract:
A 24 year old man presented a large keloidal patch on the posterior thigh with persistent purulent fistulae and comedones on it. Histopathological findings showed folliculoperifolliculitis with polymorphs, lymphocytes, plasma cells, multinucleated giant cells and hypertrophic sclerotic connective tiasue. Clinically and histopathologically the diasgnoais of folliculitis keloidalis was made, which is known to develop mostly on the posterior neck. The lesion was treated by surgical excision and skin graft.
