[Recurrent disseminated infundibulofolliculitis].
A white male patient with disseminated, pruritic, follicular papules on the skin is reported. Histologically, an inflammatory infiltration around the infundibulum, perifollicular oedema and spongiosis of the follicular epithelium were demonstrated. The lesions failed to respond to therapy. On the basis of the clinical and histological findings, we suggest that this is a case of disseminated and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis, which was first described by Hitch and Lund in 1968.
