Erosive Pustular Dermatosis of the Scalp with Urate-Like Crystals

الملخص EN

Follicular urate-like crystals were first described in Necrotizing Infundibular Crystalline Folliculitis (NICF), a rare cutaneous disorder with multiple waxy folliculocentric papules.

Similar crystal accumulation may be seen within follicular infundibulae as an incidental finding.

We describe a case showing identical crystals occurring within the horn-like crusts of a patient with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp (EPDS), a condition which due to its presentation can often be mistaken for nonmelanoma skin cancer.

A brief overview of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp (EPDS) is presented in this paper.
