ABSTRACT
Disseminated and recurrent infundibulo-folliculitis is an infrequent entity of unknown etiology that was first described in 1968, by Hitch and Lund. Most patient reports have been on young black male adults. It is rarely reported in Asian, and there has been only 1 case reported in the Korean medical literature in the year 1984. The syndrome has been characterized as tiny uniform, skin-colored papules similar to 'goose-bumps' of skin. These papules predominantly involve the trunk and proximal extremities, and are usually accompanied by mild pruritus. In this report, we presented a 33-year-old man with a 10-year history of generalized skin-colored, follicular papules on the chest and back with intermittent pruritus. The clinical initial differential diagnosis included keratosis pilaris, lichen spinulosus, lichen nitidus, folliculitis, and disseminated and recurrent infundibulo-folliculitis. A histopathologic examination showed predominant mononuclear cell infiltration around the infundibular portion of hair follicles, follicular spongiosis and lack of hyperkeratosis. Herein, we reported a rare case of disseminated and recurrent infundibulo-folliculitis with typical clinical and histopathological findings in a 33-year-old Korean man.
