Abstract:

Eruptive Vellus Hair Cysts (EVHC) are a sporadic developmental abnormality of vellus hair follicles, which was firstly described in 1977. It is usually asymptomatic and benign in nature occurred at any age. EVHC often presents clinically as round, dome-shaped, skin-colored papules ranging from tens to hundreds. Histopathologic features reveal a mid-dermal cyst lined by stratified squamous epithelium, filled with laminated keratin, variable numbers of transversally and obliquely cut vellus hair shafts. EVHC is not very common clinically; therefore, we described and added to the medical literature a unique case of facial EVHC mimicking nevus of Ota.
