Abstract:
A fifteen-year-old white boy with a history of seizure disorder, borderline cognitive function, academic difficulty, and explosive temper outbursts was evaluated for asymptomatic flesh-colored papules appearing on his chest, abdomen, and axillae. Examination of a biopsy specimen showed eruptive vellus hair cysts; results of genetic, endocrinologic, and neuropsychiatric evaluation revealed abnormalities suggestive of a previously undescribed neurocutaneous syndrome.
