  • Title: Nevus comedonicus of the palm and wrist. Case report with review of five previously reported cases.
    Author: Harper KE, Spielvogel RL.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1985 Jan; 12(1 Pt 2):185-8. PubMed ID: 3973117.
    Abstract:
    Nevus comedonicus (NC) is an uncommon condition consisting of grouped comedo-like papules. Rarely, NC is associated with other structural abnormalities and diseases. Lesions of the palms or soles are distinctly unusual. Histopathologic findings support the concept of a developmental abnormality of the dermal components of the pilosebaceous apparatus with subsequent imperfect differentiation of the epidermal components. Therapy is often unrewarding, although topical tretinoin may be of value.
