Erythrosis pigmentosa peribuccalis (Brocq) (or erythrosis pigmentosa mediofacialis) and erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, have been regarded as different disorders, mainly because the first occurs on the mediofacial area and is common in women and the second mostly occurs pre-auricularly in men. Both conditions show histological signs of abnormal follicular keratinization with teleangiectasia and round cell infiltrate. An increase in the level of melanin has been seen in some patients. We describe here a woman in whom lesions started in the middle of the face and later became evident in the pre-auricular area. This suggests that the two conditions are in fact the same disease. As a neutral term for this not uncommon disorder we propose erythrosis pigmentosa faciei et colli.
口周色素沉着性红斑(布罗克)(或面部中部色素沉着性红斑)和面部及颈部毛囊性红黑变病,一直被视为不同的疾病,主要是因为前者发生在面部中部区域,在女性中常见,而后者大多发生在男性的耳前区。两种情况均显示出毛囊角化异常、毛细血管扩张和圆形细胞浸润的组织学特征。在一些患者中还发现黑色素水平升高。我们在此描述一名女性,其病变始于面部中部,后来在耳前区域变得明显。这表明这两种情况实际上是同一种疾病。作为这种并不罕见的疾病的中性术语,我们提出面部及颈部色素沉着性红斑。
