    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Histopathology
    • Medical Case Study

    Background:

    • Follicular papules can present with various underlying pathologies.
    • Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis is a distinctive histological finding in certain skin conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel case of a rare follicular disorder.
    • To characterize the clinical and histological features of this unique condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation of a 22-year-old woman with unilateral upper body lesions.
    • Histopathological examination of skin biopsy specimens.
    • Analysis of follicular and epidermal alterations.

    Main Results:

    • Presence of comedo-like follicular papules predominantly on the left upper body.
    • Histology revealed epidermolytic hyperkeratosis affecting follicular epithelium and sebaceous ducts.
    • Compact hyperkeratosis was noted, with minimal interfollicular epidermal changes.

    Conclusions:

    • The condition is termed nevoid follicular epidermolytic hyperkeratosis due to its nevoid distribution, follicular plugging, and epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.
    • This case expands the understanding of follicular disorders and epidermolytic hyperkeratosis presentations.
