title: Acanthoma fissuratum. Histopathology and review of the literature.
abstract: A review of the literature and report of a case describing perhaps the youngest and first black patient recorded in whom bilateral lesions of acanthoma fissuratum developed and were successfully treated with intralesional corticosteroids is presented herein. Awareness of the clinical characteristics of this benign process can prevent potentially costly and needless diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
