    Studysummary This report describes a case of widespread Porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus in a 15-year-old woman with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, involving both eccrine ostia and hair follicle infundibula. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
    The document reported a case of a 15-year-old woman with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome who developed widespread porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus (PEHFN). PEHFN is a rare hamartomatous malformation characterized by cornoid lamellae overlying dilated eccrine ostia and involves hair follicle infundibula. This condition typically presents as multiple filiform keratotic spines in a linear arrangement, often on the distal extremities. The case highlighted the association between PEHFN and KID syndrome, suggesting a potential link between these rare conditions.
