A Case of Generalized Hair Follicle Hamartoma Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Abstract

A hair-follicle hamartoma (HFH) may be localized or diffuse. Generalized HFH is frequently associated with an autoimmune disease such as myasthenia gravis or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report here a female patient with SLE who developed typical generalized HFH. This is the fourth case of generalized HFH associated with SLE.
