Atrophoderma vermiculatum (AV) is a rare follicular dermatosis presenting with 'wormeaten' or 'honeycomb' atrophy, usually on the cheeks and sometimes extending to the preauricular areas and forehead. It predominantly affects children and follows a slowly progressive course. The treatment of AV is challenging. We describe a rare case of unilateral AV in a young boy. The scarring in AV is characteristically limited to the face, but our patient had lesions extending to the concha auriculae and the neck. He also had an ipsilateral congenital cataract. Such an association has only been reported once before in the literature.

We examined a 13-year-old girl with a ten-year history of honeycomb depressions on the right side of her face. These changes began in the middle of the cheekand extended to involve a large area between the ear and the lower lip. The patient denied preceding inflammation. There were no other cutaneous lesions or systemic complaints. There was no family history of a similar condition. Figure 1.On physical examination, the patient showed extensive, unilateral honeycomb scars, irregular in shape, about 1 to 3 mm in depth and 1 to 5 mm in size. The lesions were separated from each other by narrow ridges of normal-appearing skin. There were many small comedones and milia in the depressed areas (Fig 1).A 4-mm punch biopsy specimen was taken from a representative area and is shown in Figs 2 and 3. Figure 2. HISTOPATHOLOGIC FINDINGSThe biopsy specimen showed follicular plugging with perivascular infiltration of mononuclear cells in the papillary dermis. Fibroblast proliferation and focal calcification was also evident (Fig 2). On higher magnification, extensive follicular plugging and double comedo formation can be seen (Fig 3).
