Infundibulocystic basal cell carcinoma (IBCC) is a relatively recently described variant of basal cell carcinoma that is controversial and not universally accepted. Excluding cases of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, IBCC usually presents as a small, solitary, superficial lesion on the face of older persons. There have been previous reports of diffusely distributed, multiple similar lesions, but there is disagreement about the diagnosis in these cases. We present a case of a 43‐year‐old man with multiple papular lesions which we believe represent IBCC in the setting of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
