Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma is a cutaneous malformation composed of a cystic folliculosebaceous structure associated with mesenchymal elements, generally consisting of fibrous stroma, adipocytes and small vascular channels. We report the case of a 55-year-old female patient with a cutaneous nodule of the right nasal wing. Microscopically, the lesion showed a dilated hair follicle with multiple sebaceous glands, surrounded by a mesenchymal component composed of fibromyxoid stroma, spindle cells, mature-appearing adipocytes and collagen bundles, resembling spindle cell lipoma, associated with an additional neural component, consisting of small nerve bundles. In folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma, the association of spindle cell lipomatous and neural components has not previously reported.
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.
