Dilated Pore of Winer; What’s That!

Abstract

The dilated pore of Winer (DPOW) is an adnexal tumour of benign origin arising from the infundibulum of the pilosebaceous unit extending from superficial to deep dermis. Incidence is more common in white males and mostly affects the face, neck and upper trunk. The diagnosis is primarily clinical but dermoscopy and histopathological evaluation are helpful in diagnosis of unusual presentations. Here, we report a case of a 55-year-old female who presented with a giant comedone-like asymptomatic papular lesion over mons pubis. A diagnosis of DPOW was made. The lesion was surgically excised and no recurrence on follow-up was observed.
