Zusammenfassung

Eruptive Vellushaarzysten sind seltene epidermale Zysten mit retinierten Vellushaaren bei Kindern und jungen Erwachsenen. Berichtet wird über einen 23jährigen Patienten mit symptomlosen komedonenartigen Papeln im Gesicht, am Hals und an der Brust. Histopathologisch fanden sich epidermale Zysten im mittleren Korium mit erhaltenem Stratum granulosum, zentral retiniertes Keratin und zahlreiche Vellushaare. Der Vater des Patienten wies ähnliche Veränderungen auf. Trotz einiger gemeinsamer klinischer Merkmale unterscheiden sich eruptive Vellushaarzysten und Steatocystoma multiplex histopathologisch und stellen daher eigenständige Krankheitsbilder dar.

Summary

Eruptive vellus hair cysts are rare epidermal cysts with vellus hairs, which appear in children or young adults. A 21-year-old patient is reported who developed asymptomatic comedo-like papules on his face, neck and chest. Histopathologically, epidermoid cysts with a fine stratum granulosum, laminated keratinous material and numerous vellus hairs were found in the mid-dermis. Evaluation of immediate family members revealed that the patient's father was similarly affected. Eruptive vellus hair cysts and steatocystoma multiplex are clinically similar, but have distinctive histopathological features and should be regarded as distinct entities.
