Favre-Racouchot Syndrome

Abstract

Favre-Racouchot syndrome (nodular elastosis with cysts and comedones) is a distinct variant of solar elastosis most frequently found in elderly Caucasian men. The estimated prevalence is 1.5–6 % in the general population. This syndrome is characterized by yellow nodules and plaques accentuated by enlarged, open comedones and dilated cysts, often accompanied by other cutaneous findings of actinic damage.
