Coexistence of Trichostasis Spinulosa and Eruptive Vellus Hair Cysts

The document discussed the rare coexistence of two dermatological conditions: trichostasis spinulosa and eruptive vellus hair cysts. Trichostasis spinulosa is characterized by the accumulation of multiple hair shafts within a single follicle, while eruptive vellus hair cysts involve the formation of small cysts containing vellus hair. The study highlighted the clinical and histopathological features of these conditions and emphasized the importance of recognizing their simultaneous occurrence for accurate diagnosis and treatment. The findings were based on observations and analyses conducted at the Soroka Medical Center of Kupat Holim, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in Beer-Sheva, Israel.
