Abstract

Nevus comedonicus is a rare variant of epidermal nevus. It is a disease of pilosebaceous unit. Fistulas, sinuses, severe scars and squamous cell carcinoma may develop over lesions. When systemic signs accompany to nevus comedonicus it is called nevus comedonicus syndrome. Antibiotics, topical peeling treatment, surgical procedures and laser are used in treatment. Our case was 17 years old girl with multiple comedones and a few scars on her right lower extremity. Her lesions were present since birth. Biopsy was taken. Diagnosis was nevus comedonicus. We decided to report this case to emphasize importance of nevus comedonicus because lesions don't disappear spontaneously and may cause aesthetic issues.

Özet

Nevus komedonikus epidermal nevüsün nadir görülen bir subtipidir. Nevus komedonikus pilosebase ünitenin bir hastalığıdır. Lezyon üzerinden fistüller, sinüsler, şiddetli skar dokuları ve skuamöz hücreli karsinom gelişebilir. Nevüs komedonikusa sistemik bulgular eşlik ettiğinde bu durum nevüs komedonikus sendromu olarak adlandırılır. Nevus komedonikus tedavisinde antibiyotikler, topikal soyucu tedaviler, cerrahi işlemler ve lazer kullanılır. Bu makalede sunulan hasta sağ alt ekstremitesinde çok sayıda komedon ve birkaç adet skar bulunan 17 yaşında bir kadın hastaydı. Mevcut lezyonları doğuştan beri vardı. Lezyonlarından biyopsi alındı ve biyopsi sonucuna göre Nevüs komedonikus tanısı konuldu. Nevus komedonikusda lezyonlar kendiliğinden kaybolmadığından ve önemli estetik sorunlara sebep olabildiğinden dolayı nevüs komedonikusun önemini vurgulamak amacıyla bu olguyu sunmaya karar verdik.
