Abstract

Chloracne was first identified by Herxheimer1 in 1889. It is characterized by noninflammatory keratinization of pilosebaceous units with comedones and dilated infundibulum after exposure to aromatic chlorinated hydrocarbons of various structures.2 However, no report has been issued on chloracne showing Darier-like changes. We report an unusual case of chloracne associated with herbicides in the Vietnam War, which showed typical noninflammatory comedones and Darier-like changes, ie, acantholytic dyskeratosis and corps ronds.
