Özet

Nevus comedonicus is a rare nevoid malformation, characterized by hyperkeratotic comedonal lesions scattered in several parts of the body. Skeletal abnormalities, central nervous system defects and ophtalmological pathologies can accompany the situation and in this condition, it is called nevus comedonicus syndrome. Herein, we present a twenty-eight-year old male patient diagnosed with nevus comedonicus with prepubertal segmentally located inflammatory nodules and comedones. The patient had a medical history of bone cyst and further investigation for nevus comedonicus syndrome revealed cerebral atrophy. Distinguishing property of our case was the accompanying nevus depigmentosus located on the same leg extending to the thigh.
