A case of hyperkeratosis follicularis et parafollicularis in cutem penetrans Kyrle's disease in a 41-year-old woman is described. It was a recurrence of a lesion surgically removed and originally diagnosed as invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Kyrle's disease is a rare dermatosis and should not be confused with neoplastic conditions i.e. squamous cell carcinoma. Pathologists should be aware of such conditions in order to avoid misdiagnosis, which can imply over treatment for the patient.
