Favre-Racouchot Syndrome with Predominant Nose Involvement.

Favre-Racouchot syndrome (FRS) is a dermatological condition predominantly affecting individuals with an excessive sunexposure. We report a case seen in an elderly male with a predominant involvement of the nose.

A Case of Favre-Racouchot Syndrome Accompanied by Squamous Cell Carcinoma / 대한피부과학회지

Favre-Racouchot syndrome is a slowly progressive skin disease, which is characterised by grouped comedones occurring on solar damaged skin of elderly individuals. We describe a case of Favre- Racouchot syndrome in a 69-year-old man. He had multiple black comedones and yellowish nodules on both cheeks, with deep wrinkles and cutis rhomboidalis nuchae on the posterior of the neck. The excisional specimen, including comedones, revealed solar elastosis and dilated follicular cysts filled with keratinous material in the dermis. A biopsy specimen from a yellowish nodule showed a cystic structure with a corrugated luminal surface which was filled with keratinous material. Another biopsy specimen from protruding nodule showed the features of squamous cell carcinoma.

A Case of Favre-Racouchot Syndrome / 대한피부과학회지

Favre-Racouchot syndrome is a cutaneous disease characterized by a degenerative process of dermis associated with comedones, furrows and nodules. It occurs on the face of aged men, a remarkable preference for the male, after prolonged exposure to sunlight. The pathogenesis of Favre-Racouchot syndrome is uncertain. The damage by UV exposure has been strongly suggested as a major cause. We present a typical case of Favre-Racouchot syndrome in a 65 year old male. The patient had numerous yellowish cysts, comedones and nodules on both cheeks. Histopathology of the lesion showed dilated pilosebaceous openings and large cyst-like spaces filled with multi-layered horny material in addition to pronounced solar elastosis in the dermis.

A Favre-Racouchot Syndrome Developed on the Applied area of Topical Corticosteroid / 대한피부과학회지

Favre-Racouchot syndrome, also known as nodular elastosis with cysts and comedones, typically presents with large black open comedones, furrows, and nodules in the periorbital region and over the malar eminence. The pathogenesis of Favre-Racouchot syndrome is still uncertain. However it has been postulated that damage from ultraviolet radiation, combined with some unknown host predisposition, leads to the degeneration of the supporting dermal connective tissue. We report a case of Favre-Racouchot syndrome that developed on the applied area of topical corticosteroid for a preceding post-herpetic neuralgia lesion. This case is unique to suggest that the catabolic effect of corticosteroid is superimposed on the UV-induced degeneration of dermal connective tissue as a pathogenic mechanism of Favre-Racouchot syndrome.
