Favre-Racouchot syndrome associated with eyelid papilloma: a case report

Publication date: November 2012 Source:Journal of Biomedical Research, Volume 26, Issue 6 Author(s): Ruzhi Zhang , Wenyuan Zhu A 55-year-old Chinese man presented with an asymptomatic pedunculated elevation on his left lower eyelid which had been gradually increasing in size during the past three years. The patient was diagnosed with eyelid papilloma by pathological examination. Concomitantly, the patient developed open comedones with a bilateral linear distribution, along with oblique wrinkle lines in his infraorbital regions. These lesions were noninflammatory and remained unchanged for two years. To the best of our knowledge, this distribution of open comedones, especially in combination with eyelid papilloma, has not been reported previously in Favre-Racouchot syndrome.
