The association of cysts and comedones in chronically sun-damaged skin characterizes the Favre-Racouchot syndrome. The authors report a case of a 64 year-old male patient with a history of smoking and tillage work activity. The patient had lesions in the malar, zygomatic and mandibular regions bilaterally, constituted by slightly erythematous cysts and large comedones in thickened skin with deep grooves. The condition was diagnosed as Favre-Racouchot syndrome, and treated by means of surgical excision. The objective of the present study is to describe an exuberant presentation of the syndrome, and its treatment via surgical excision.
