RESUMEN
La hiperqueratosis nevoide de areola y pezón es una entidad patológica de la dermatología escasamente presentada en la literatura. Descrita por primera vez en 1938 por Levy Frankel,2 quien además establece una clasificación etiológica de la misma. En este trabajo se presenta un caso de hiperqueratosis nevoide bilateral de areola y pezón, y su tratamiento con galvanocauterio que da muy buenos resultados no solo estéticos sino primordialmente por la nula recidiva.

In this paper a case of bilateral hyperkeratosis of the nipple and the areola and its successful treatment with galvanocautery surgery with no long-term recurrence is reported.

A synthetic analogue of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxymitamin D3), has shown immunomodulatory effects as well as induction of cell differentiation and inhibition of cell proliferation. This agent has been widely used for psoriasis. We report a case of seborrheic keratosis of the left areola in a 33-year-old female who was treated with calcipotriol ointment. Because of the lesion's location and shape, it was difficult to try ablative methods. However, complete disappearance of the lesion was observed after 6 weeks of topical calcipotriol application. This case suggests that the calcipotriol ointment is effective in the treatment of seborrheic keratosis.
