Nonfamilial bilateral axillary nevus comedonicus in a 24-year-old lady – a case report
Keywords:
Nevus comedonicus, axillary, bilateralAbstract
Nevus comedonicus is a rare hamartoma of the pilosebaceous unit. Bilateral involvement is relatively uncommon and is usually associated with other non-cutaneous anomalies. We report a case of non-familial nevus comedonicus affecting both axillae and ears only in a 24-year-old lady without any other anomalies.ÂReferences
