Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Acanthoma fissuratum is a benign skin condition.
  • It is often associated with the use of eyeglasses.

Observation:

  • This report details five cases of acanthoma fissuratum.
  • Lesions were located on the retroauricular fold and nasal bridge.
  • The cause identified was ill-fitting eyeglasses.

Findings:

  • Clinically, acanthoma fissuratum can be misdiagnosed as basal cell epithelioma.
  • Definitive diagnosis relies on characteristic histologic features.
  • Clinical and anamnestic data are crucial for diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Acanthoma fissuratum should be recognized as a distinct clinical entity.
  • Accurate diagnosis is important for dermatologists and surgeons.
  • Understanding the etiology aids in prevention and management.
