Abstract
- A 15-year-old white male had an extensive skin eruption that had been present since age 2 years. Physical examination revealed flesh-colored, rough-textured papules surrounded by faint erythema. These lesions were present diffusely over the upper trunk, arms, thighs, face, ears, and neck. Evaluation of four immediate family members revealed a similarly affected brother and father. A biopsy of the papules showed the presence of a mid-dermal epithelial cyst containing numerous vellus hairs.
