description

Sir, Naevus comedonicus was first described by Kofmann in 1895 (1). It was arranged in groups or linear patterns along Blaschko’s line and located on the face, neck, upper arms, chest and abdomen. It has been well documented that naevus comedonicus occurs as a single entity but occasionally in association with other disorders. The objective of this study was to analyse the clinical and immunohistochemical features of two patients with extensive naevus comedonicus arranged in groups and linear patterns without non-cutaneous abnormalities.
