Abstract

A 12-year-old white boy presented with symmetrically appearing papular, nodular, comedo-like, highly itching lesions involving the skin on his ankles. They had first appeared 3 years earlier. Numerous cutaneous biopsies showed tumoral buds of basalioma cells associated with follicular structures, infundibular cysts and also hypertrophy and hyperplasia of sebaceous glands. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reported cases with the same clinical and histopathological findings as in those reported here. We believe the lesions represent a "bilateral follicular basal cell nevus with comedones".
