Inflammatory Disorders of the Cutaneous Appendages

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Pediatric Dermatopathology

Abstract

Inflammatory infiltrates centered on eccrine and apocrine structures and pilosebaceous units give rise to a range of cutaneous disorders.   These conditions range from alopecia to acne vulgaris to blistering diseases of childhood, all of which have in common a peri-appendageal inflammatory infiltrate. The varying cell types and location of the infiltrates result in a wide range of cutaneous disorders.
