Abstract:
Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma(FSCH) is a rare cutaneous hamartoma of follicular, sebaceous, and mesenchymal elements. The tumor usually has sessile or pedunculated papule or nodule and occurs frequently in the center of face and sometimes on the scalp, ear, and trunk. We report a case of FSCH, which a 36-year-old woman presented as a subcutaneous nodule on the occipital area of scalp. Histologic examination of the nodule showed a central large cystic structure connected with numerous sebaceous lobules, and stroma consisted of delicate fibrillary bundles of collagen in concert with dilated capillaries and venules, as well as with adipocytes.
