Background: Favre-Racouchot syndrome is a cutaneous disease characterized by nodules, cysts, and comedones that typically develops on sun-exposed areas of the face. This syndrome most commonly affects white males between the ages of 40 and 60 years and is frequently associated with chronic sun exposure and, more recently, chronic cigarette smoking.
Objective: We report a case of Favre-Racouchot syndrome in a 39-year-old female who received 6 weeks of radiation therapy to treat a grade 3 oligodendroglioma.
Results and conclusion: Although there have been previously reported cases of Favre-Racouchot syndrome following radiation therapy, this case is unique given the young age of the patient and extent of involvement.
