An 11‐year‐old girl had an uncountable number of hyperkeratotic comedo‐like lesions on her shoulders, arms, buttocks, and thighs, present for 5 years. Depressed scars, cysts, and small purulent nodules were observed in involved areas. Her 6‐year‐old brother does not have similar lesions. Other members of her family were not available for examination. Light microscopy showed dilated elongated infundibula filled with corneocytes and arranged in a lamellated pattern. A peri‐infundibular inflammatory infiltrate was present.
