[Vitiligoid hypopigmented macules and tumor of the follicular infundibulum].
Tumor of the follicular infundibulum is an uncommon cutaneous lesion with different forms of clinical presentation, namely solitary and multiple/eruptive variants. The former shows predilection for head and neck and presents as a papulonodular scaly tumor. The latter is less frequent and occurs on facial, neck and upper chest areas as brown, reddish or more commonly hypopigmented macules leading to the differential diagnosis with vitiligo. The different clinical forms share the same histopathologic aspect. The present report describes a case of the multiple variant of tumor of the follicular infundibulum disclosing facial vitiligoid macules in a 35-year-old male patient.
