    Author: Zarkik S, Bouhllab J, Methqal A, Afifi Y, Senouci K, Hassam B.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2012 Jul 15; 18(7):4. PubMed ID: 22863626.
    Abstract:
    Nevus comedonicus is a benign hamartoma of the pilosebaceous unit and is considered as a rare subtype of epidermal nevus. It was first described in 1895. It manifests as a group of closely dilated follicular openings with dark keratin plugs resembling comedones. Malignant degeneration of a nevus comedonicus is exceptional; we report a case of keratoacanthoma arising in extensive nevus comedonicus.
