Milia en plaque is a rare type of primary milia. Issues related to esthetics and differential diagnoses represent a concern to patients and a challenge for physicians. In this paper, a case of milia en plaque is reported and a review of the literature is described.

A 57-year-old Japanese man presented with a 10-year history of a plaque on his face. The lesion had gradually increased in volume. Physical examination revealed a brownish-grey plaque, approximately 5 × 5 cm in size, with ulceration on the right nasolabial area (Fig. 1a). Dermoscopy showed a milky-red area with some milia-like cysts and dilated vessels on the surface (not shown). Histo patholog...

Sir, Trichoadenoma is a rare solitary tumour that is usually found on the face or buttock of adults (1). Trichoadenoma was first described in 1958 by Nikolowski (2). Clinically, this lesion is a few mm to 1.5 cm in diameter, and appears as solitary, slowly growing, greyish nodules. Tricho­ adenoma is less mature than trichofolliculoma and more differentiated than trichoepithelioma (3). We repor...

Histopathologically, three round, well defined cystic structures were seen on the upper and lower dermis. The first cyst was milia, the second was apocrine hidrocystoma and the other, largest cyst was an eruptive vellus hair cyst (EVHC). A diagnosis of multiple pilosebaceous cysts com...

BACKGROUND Abattoir detected pathologies are of crucial importance to both pig production and food safety. Usually, more than one pathology coexist in a pig herd although it often remains unknown how these different pathologies interrelate to each other. Identification of the associations between different pathologies may facilitate an improved understanding of their underlying biological linka...

BACKGROUND Despite the effectiveness of ablative CO(2) laser resurfacing for facial rejuvenation, its application has been limited owing to an undesirable side-effect profile, including prolonged hyperemia and potential pigmentary changes. However, newer fractional CO(2) laser technology has reduced the recovery time and led to decreases in postprocedural hypo- and hyperpigmentation. OBJECTIV...
