“…Solar elastosis refers to the damage to dermal elastic tissue due to prolonged exposure to UVA and UVB rays[2]. Interestingly, the comedones found in Favre-Racouchot syndrome are histologically indistinguishable from the primary comedones of acne vulgaris, with the exceptions of a lack of inflammation and the presence of a marked actinic elastosis in the surrounding dermis[5]. Clinically, examination reveals actinically damaged skin with atrophy, yellowish discoloration, wrinkles and furrows, cystic nodules, and punctate, waxy, non-inflamed, soft, open or closed comedones.…”

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.

“…They are not inflamed, and this distinguishes them from acne comedones. The other characteristic feature is the shrinkage or even absence of sebaceous glands [ 4 , 13 ]. The differential diagnosis should include colloid milium, actinic comedonal plaques, syringoma and trichoepithelioma.…”
