ABSTRACT
The eruptive vellus hair cyst is characterized by asymptomatic, skin-colored papules often located on the trunk and extremities, with a diameter of 1-7 mm. Eruptive vellus hair cyst is a rare form of epidermal cyst that is thought to be caused by the developmental anomaly of the vellus hair follicle. Here, a 24-year-old female case of eruptive vellus hair cyst with specific clinical and histopathological features is presented.
