| Abstract: | Nevus comedonicus is a rare, benign hamartoma of the pilosebaceous unit that may be isolated or part of the nevus comedonicus syndrome. Although rare in children, complication by hidradenitis suppurativa‐like lesions has been described. We present a report of a 9‐year‐old girl in whom surgical excision was curative, with a review of the relevant literature. |
