Several hair follicular infundibula are involved with one area of rupture and granulomatous inflammation.
? Nevus comedonicus ( althoug clinical does not fit). This can show dilate pore type epithelial proliferation.

I think the main pathology is that of a dilated pore of Winer, adjacent (to the left), yet away from the pore (unrelated to it), there is a focus of granulomatous inflammation that may be due to unrelated folliculitis and ruptured follicle.

Another possibility (to tie everything together) would be inflammatory cystic acne!
This would explain the inflammation, fibrosis and comedones (the latter showing Dilated pore of Winer type changes).

In Akerman's tome on follicular neoplasms I seem to remember him regarding dilated pore as a reaction within ruptured infundibular cysts and this opinion is also mentions in Kazakov. Some believe dilated pore of Winer is a neoplasm. I don't know the answer. Kazakov mentions a variant of naevus comedonicus with circumferential bulbous projections "dilated pore naevus". So is it an acneiform lesion with secondary changes (dilated pore) or is it dilated pore with secondary acneiform process? I don't know but thought you might like to see this one! I suppose if nearly every dilated pore has either a scar, redisual infundibular cyst or acneiform process (on adequate examination) then we might find the answer.
