A rare case of bilateral spectacle frame acanthoma occurred in a young man after wearing ill-fitting sunglasses. This benign skin condition requires differentiation from more serious proliferative lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Spectacle frame acanthoma is a benign skin condition.
  • It typically presents unilaterally, often associated with eyeglasses.

Observation:

  • A rare instance of bilateral spectacle frame acanthoma is presented.
  • The condition developed rapidly in a young white male within weeks of wearing ill-fitting sunglasses.

Findings:

  • This case highlights a rare bilateral presentation of spectacle frame acanthoma.
  • The etiology appears linked to mechanical irritation from eyewear.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to distinguish this benign entity from malignant proliferative conditions.
  • Awareness of this rare presentation is important for clinicians managing skin lesions around the ears.
