    Summary

    Inverted follicular keratosis is a benign skin tumor that can mimic skin cancer. Recognizing its unique features can help oral surgeons avoid unnecessary procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Inverted follicular keratosis (IFK) is a benign skin neoplasm.
    • IFK originates from the infundibular portion of the hair follicle.
    • This condition can present on perioral skin and may be mistaken for skin cancer.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical and histological characteristics of inverted follicular keratosis.
    • To differentiate IFK from malignant skin tumors.
    • To inform oral and maxillofacial surgeons about IFK to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 12 cases of inverted follicular keratosis.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation and patient history.
    • Microscopic examination of histological findings.

    Main Results:

    • IFK presents a unique histological pattern.
    • The benign nature of IFK was confirmed microscopically.
    • Clinical presentation can resemble squamous cell carcinoma.

    Conclusions:

    • Awareness of inverted follicular keratosis's distinct features is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Distinguishing IFK from skin cancer avoids unnecessary surgical interventions.
    • Oral and maxillofacial surgeons can benefit from understanding IFK to improve patient management.
