Abstract
This case report describes a rare occurrence of inverted follicular keratosis (IFK) in a 27-year-old woman who had a single lesion on the left side of her nose. IFK, which primarily affects older males, is a harmless condition that involves the hair follicles and sebaceous ducts. The patient's lesion, with a size of 0.4 x 0.3 x 0.3 cm, was surgically removed and subsequently identified as IFK through histopathological analysis. This case underscores the significance of including IFK in the list of potential causes for solitary keratotic lesions in younger patients and emphasizes the need for histopathological analysis to ensure an accurate diagnosis. After the surgical removal, the patient did not experience any return of the condition, which aligns with the positive outlook described in the medical literature.
