Inverted follicular keratosis successfully treated with imiquimod
Abstract
Inverted follicular keratosis is a rare benign tumor of the follicular infundibulum characterized by exo-endophytic growing. It is thought to be a rare variant of the seborrheic keratosis. The diagnosis of inverted follicular keratosis is generally established histopathologically because clinical differentiation from other lesions is difficult. Herein, we present one such rare case, successfully treated with topical 5% imiquimod cream.
Keywords: Dermatopathology; imiquimod; inverted follicular keratosis.
