Rhabdomyomatous mesenchymal hamartoma (RMH) is a rare congenital malformation of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Usually, RMH occurs in the midline of the face and neck region. We described a case of RMH presenting as telangiectasia in a 57‐year‐old man with a history of pityriasis lichenoides chronicus. Histopathological examination revealed a subepidermal haphazard proliferation of striated muscular tissue perpendicular to the epidermis. These bundles of striated muscular tissue were admixed with adnexal structures. The diagnosis was consistent with RMH. RMH is more common in the neonatal period or in young children, but we should consider it as part of a differential diagnosis in older adults as well.
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.
