Multiple infundibulocystic basal cell carcinomas in association with humanimmunodeficiency virus

Infundibulocystic basal cell carcinoma (IBCC) is a relatively recently desc ribed variant of basal cell carcinoma that is controversial and not univers ally accepted. Excluding cases of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, IBC C usually presents as a small, solitary, superficial lesion on the face of older persons. There have been previous reports of diffusely distributed, m ultiple similar lesions, but there is disagreement about the diagnosis in t hese cases. We present a case of a 43-year-old man with multiple papular le sions which we believe represent IBCC in the setting of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
