ABSTRACT
Although herpes viruses are a common cause of a wide variety of mucocutaneous infections, the involvement of a follicular or a sebaceous gland epithelium (herpetic folliculitis) and eccrine structures (herpetic syringitis) are only rarely reported in the literature. Herein we describe an 88-year-old male who showed multiple, partially-crusted, erythematous papules and vesicles on the trunk and face, especially on the right cheek, chin and perioral areas. Histopathologic examination showed typical herpetic cytopathic features involving the pilosebaceous units and eccrine structures.
