Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (KFSD) is a genetic disorder characterized by disseminated follicular hyperkeratosis, especially localizated to scalp and face. We report the case of a new patient displaying typical features of KFSD. Ultrastructural study was performed and displayed round keratohyalin granules in follicular keratinocytes. Trial with etretinate, which has not been reported before in this disease, proved to be ineffective.
