    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Kyrle's disease (hyperkeratosis follicularis et parafollicularis in cutem penetrans) is a rare skin disorder.
    • Characterized by a hyperkeratotic papular eruption.

    Observation:

    • A 59-year-old man presented with a hyperkeratotic papular eruption consistent with Kyrle's disease.
    • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Treatment with topical tretinoin (vitamin A acid) induced severe, prolonged inflammatory reactions in the lesions.
    • The treatment provided only temporary relief, with a mild recurrence observed.

    Implications:

    • The case highlights the potential for severe inflammatory reactions to tretinoin in Kyrle's disease.
    • Difficulties in differentiating Kyrle's disease from perforating folliculitis are noted, impacting diagnostic certainty.
