Congenital smooth muscle hamartoma (CSMH) with follicular spotted appearance is a rare clinical variant of CMSH in which patients have marked perifollicular papules in the patches. A linear distribution of CSMH is also extremely rare. We report a 16-year-old Korean girl with this uncommon form of CSMH who had linearly arranged, hyperpigmented lesions with follicular papules extending from the right flank to the right lower leg from birth. Pathological findings, including immunohistochemical stains, were consistent with smooth muscle hamartoma. To date, there are only four reports on this rare, follicular form and one report on the linear form of CSMH in the literature. This paper describes the first combined occurrence of follicular spotted lesions and linear arrangement in CSMH.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
