Cs. Leung et al., POROKERATOTIC ECCRINE OSTIAL AND DERMAL DUCT NEVUS WITH DERMATOMAL TRUNK INVOLVEMENT - LITERATURE-REVIEW AND REPORT ON THE EFFICACY OF LASER TREATMENT, British journal of dermatology, 138(4), 1998, pp. 684-688
Porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct naevus (PEODDN) is a rare
, benign hamartomatous malformation involving the eccrine sweat duct.
The existence of filiform keratinous plugs that represent cornoid lame
llae overlying dilated infundibula of eccrine ducts is a distinctive f
eature and the presence of associated abnormal dermal ducts is frequen
t. We report a patient with PEODDN who exhibited lesions on the left s
ide of her chest, Cases of PEODDN reported in the literature are revie
wed. Our experience in treating this patient with ultrapulsed carbon d
ioxide laser is also presented.
