Abstract

Eruptive vellus hair cyst (EVHC) is a rare skin disease and is characterized by asymptomatic comedone-like papules on the anterior chest and limbs. EVHC is more common among children and young adults. Its etiology is not fully known, and it may occur sporadically or be inherited as an autosomal dominant gene. In this paper, we present a 28-year-old female patient with EVHC who presented with a large number of dense, grayish-yellow colored papules on frontal and cheek regions of the face. Due to the location of the lesions on the face and their dissimilar appearances, differential diagnosis and treatment alternatives are evaluated in the light of the literature.

Özet

Eruptif vellus kıl kisti genelde göğüs ve ekstremitelerde ortaya çıkan, çok sayıda, asemptomatik, komedon benzeri papüllerle karakterize, ender rastlanan bir deri hastalığıdır. Çocuk ve genç erişkinlerde daha sık görülmektedir. Etyolojisi tam bilinmeyen rahatsızlık sporadik şekilde gelişebileceği gibi otozomal dominant yolla kalıtsal geçiş de gösterebilmektedir. Burada; yüzün alın ve yanak bölgelerinde yoğun yerleşim gösteren, çok sayıda, grimsi sarı- renginde papülleri bulunan, eruptif vellus kıl kisti tanısı koyduğumuz 28 yaşında bir kadın, lezyonların yüz yerleşimi ve farklı görünümü nedeniyle sunularak ayırıcı tanısı, tedavi alternatifleri literatür verileri eşliğinde tartışıldı.
