%X Nevus comedonicus (NC) is a rare hamartoma of the pilosebaceous unit origin. The association with extracutaneous abnormalities defines NC syndrome (NCS). Fewer than 50 cases of NCS have been reported in the English literature. A 31-year-old woman presented with grouped and linear comedonal papules present from birth and located on the left buttock along Blaschko's lines. She had a history of pediatric mood disorder combined with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from 5 years of age and was recently diagnosed with sinus bradycardia. Her skin lesion was surgically removed and microscopic findings revealed the aggregation of dilated follicular infundibula filled with prominent laminated keratin plugs, a characteristic finding of NC. This is the first report presenting NCS associated with mood disorder and ADHD. Psychiatric symptoms may represent systemic manifestation of NCS.
