          Abstract

          Nevus comedonicus is a rare cutaneous anomaly, characterized by the clustering of papules with firm, blackened horny buffers. It in general has a zosteriform pattern and affects both genders equally. In some patients, there is formation of cysts, abscesses, and fistulas, aggravating its psychosocial impact. The association with extracutaneous lesions characterizes the nevus comedonicus syndrome. Despite several therapeutic options, the result is unsatisfactory in most cases. We report the case of a man with an exuberant congenital lesion, affecting the left suprascapular region, arm, and forearm.

          Nevus Comedonicus: An Updated Review

          Georgi Tchernev, Julian Ananiev, Kristina Semkova … (2013)
          The intention of this review on nevus comedonicus (NC) is to update on clinical features, pathogenesis, and therapy. NC is a rare epidermal nevus type. It is part of the nevus comedonicus syndrome, a neurocutaneous disorder with ocular, skeletal, and central nervous symptoms. Recently, acne-related signaling pathways and somatic mutations of tyrosine kinase receptors have been identified and may play a role in NC pathogenesis. On preexistent NC secondary skin tumors can develop, which are often benign. Treatment options of NC include topical therapy, laser, and surgery.

            Nevus comedonicus: case report and brief review of the literature.

            C. Valentini, T. Cestari, Nara M Rubim (1991)
            We report extensive nevus comedonicus in a female patient that involved half of her body entirely, with infected cystic lesions as well as typical scars, limited by the midline. The lesions worsened at the beginning of puberty. A brief review of the literature highlights the histopathologic, etiopathogenic, and therapeutic aspects.
