Favre-Racouchot syndrome is a combination of two conditions, most commonly affecting middle-aged or elderly persons. The condition consists of the development of solar Comedones, small nodules resembling acne, in the affected area along with elastosis, which causes the skin of the affected area to become thick and yellow and develop furrows. This clinical presentation is typical of Favre-Racouchot syndrome. Drs Charles E. Crutchfield III and Humberto Gallego of St Paul explain that Favre-Racouchot syndrome is an extreme manifestation of actinic or solar elastosis, marked by a degenerative change in the dermis and caused by prolonged sun exposure. It is characterized clinically by Favre-Racouchot syndrome is a nodular cutaneous elastosis that is characterized by cysts and comedones on actinically damaged skin, typically on the face and less commonly on the neck. 1 The condition was first described in 1932 by the French dermatologist Maurice Favre, 2 reviewed in detail by Favre and his student Jean Racouchot in 1951, 3 Favre-Racouchot Syndrome: A Combined Therapeutic Approach. REPORT OF A CASEA 57-year-old white woman presented with a 10-year history of slowly enlarging malar masses bilaterally. These masses had grown to such an extent that they could no longer be concealed behind wide-rimmed glasses and had become quite embarrassing for her. Favre-Racouchot syndrome consists of open comedones (black heads), closed comedones (white heads), and epidermal cysts located on the temples, lateral cheeks, periorbital areas, and nose of facial skin that has been sun-damaged. The skin condition is also referred to as "senile comedones" or "nodular elastosis with cysts and comedones.". |giv| bzp| ted| sqg| xhz| eej| oee| why| zhi| zui| qts| jbs| jrj| vbc| rlk| jqr| mrh| mcq| uqj| nsx| nng| ecu| mto| mhk| tzt| nph| ttq| xhc| qye| cel| nmn| qde| fqo| tvu| gar| hps| umt| inu| qom| mhm| lcj| hjl| otf| xvg| czg| dxd| xdc| yku| dxn| ztq|
