| Popis: | Background: Trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS) is a rare skin affection seen in immunocompromised patients, mainly those with solid organ tranplants. Objective: To report a case of a patient with classic clinical and pathologic findings for the disease so that physicians caring for this population are aware of the clinical presentation. Method: We report the case of a female patient we saw at our clinic with a diagnosis of TS. Results: The diagnosis of TS was confirmed by pathologic findings. Conclusion: TS should be considered in any immunocompromised patient with a papular facial eruption reminiscent of acne vulgaris and with keratotic spiny papules as a distinctive feature. |
