Abstract
ABSTRACT: Necrotizing infundibular crystalline folliculitis (NICF) is a rare distinct entity that was introduced in 1999. It typically presents with numerous eruptive waxy papules on the forehead and/or the upper back in adults in their fifth to seventh decade of life. The pathogenesis is unknown to date, but yeast and bacterial infection of the follicular ostia seems to contribute to the development. More recently, NICF has occasionally been observed as a side effect of targeted antitumoral therapy. Histopathologically, NICF is characterized by dilated follicular ostia filled with pale filamentous and birefringent material enclosed by parakeratotic columns of the epidermis and accompanied by a mild superficial inflammatory infiltrate of the dermis. This case report is about a 58-year-old male patient presenting with multiple eruptive keratotic papules on his forehead. Histopathology revealed all classic features of NICF. The case represents a classic example of NICF and is compared with previously published cases that are comprehensively summarized in this article.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
