AI Article Synopsis
- Nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple areola complex (NAC) is a rare, benign skin condition that causes thickening and discoloration, first noted in 1923 and with an unknown cause.
- A case study of a 26-year-old woman with this condition revealed bilateral symptoms and various treatment options explored.
- Treatments included conservative methods (like calcipotriol), semi-conservative (CO2 laser), and surgical (excision), leading to satisfactory outcomes with no recurrence after one year.
Article Abstract
Nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple areola complex (NAC) is a rare dermatological pathology of unknown etiology, first described in 1923. It is a benign condition characterized by verrucous thickening and brownish discoloration of the NAC. We described the case of a 26-year-old woman with bilateral nevoid hyperkeratosis of the NAC. Several lines of treatment have been used with varying efficacy: conservative (calcipotriol and local retinoids), semi-conservative (CO2 laser) and surgical (excision and total skin graft). The final result is very satisfactory and without recurrence at 1 year follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- * The study presents cases of siblings and an additional patient with ABCA12 variants who exhibited symptoms not typical of congenital ichthyosis, instead resembling pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP).
- * All three patients displayed unique skin characteristics, such as geographic unaffected areas, and had similar histological features to PRP, indicating a broader range of possible symptoms associated with ABCA12 variants than previously understood.
Article Synopsis
- - Nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola (NHKNA) is a rare skin condition, especially in its type II form, which can develop from irritant skin conditions like erosive papulonodular dermatitis that occurs in areas prone to friction and moisture.
- - The case discussed involves a patient who had previously suffered from erosive papulonodular dermatitis after undergoing an ileostomy, later showing classic signs of NHKNA, which were confirmed through clinical and histological analysis.
- - Treatment for type II NHKNA usually involves addressing the underlying skin issue; in this instance, reversing the ileostomy and implementing barrier protection successfully resolved the patient's NHKNA lesions.
