MULTIPLE ERUPTIVE MILIA - REPORT OF A CASE, REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE,AND A CLASSIFICATION

A 71-year-old man presented with an acute onset of multiple white papu les on the face and chest. Histologic sections demonstrated multiple m ilia. The rare condition of multiple eruptive milia occurs when crops of milia develop suddenly on the face and upper trunk. Rare isolated c ases have been reported; however there has not been a review of these cases or an attempt to classify them. The authors report an additional case, review the literature, and suggest a classification of multiple eruptive milia.
