Abstract

A 43-year-old man presented with well-defined purple to skin-colored 2X1cm sized plague and various sized papules on the posterior neck. Histopathological findings were follicular and perifollicular inflammation with plasma cells, lymphocytes and neutrophils and dermal fibrosis shown as hypertrophic scar tissue. The patient was diagnosed as acne keloidalis nuchae and treated by surgical excision. We report a case of acne keloidalis nuchae showing typical clinical and histopathological findings.
