Abstract :
We report the case of an 18-year-old male patient who presented with a 6-monthduration lesion affecting the left side of his trunk in a linear and dermatomal pattern. The lesion was composed of comedones, papules, and hypopigmented macules. Histopathological examination revealed a basaloid follicular hamartoma-like picture, and a diagnosis of linear unilateral basal cell nevus with comedones (linear nevoid basaloid follicular hamartoma) was made.
