[Familial dyskeratotic comedone].

INTRODUCTION: Familial dyskeratotic comedones is a rare affection of autosomal transmission and characterized by pseudo-comedone papules predominantly on the limbs. We report a new familial case characterized by its clinical and histological profile. CASE REPORT: A 6 year-old boy presented with a papular, pseudo-comedone eruption that had appeared shortly after birth and had progressively extended symmetrically to both legs. The child's father complained of a similar eruption since childhood. Histological examination of the papules revealed a pseudo-follicular invagination, obstructed by keratin and associated with areas of focal dyskeratosis. Treatment with local retinoids was ineffective. DISCUSSION: Since it is often asymptomatic, the prevalence of dyskeratosis comedones is probably underestimated. A review of the literature on the preceding observations is presented. The dermatites that would represent differential diagnoses because of the presence of comedone-like lesions and/or histological dyskeratosis are discussed.
