- Abstract
The article describes a case of recurrent facial herpes simplex mimicking hydroa vacciniforme in an eight-year-old Japanese boy. The patient had a five-year history of vesicles and erosions which left scars on the nose and bilateral buccal regions. A biopsy of a vesicle on the apex of his nose revealed an intraepidermal blister containing multinucleate, acantholytic keratinocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophils with epidermal necrosis.
