Abstract:
Basaloid follicular hamartoma(BFH) is a rare, benign adnexal tumor with a wide clinical appearance spectrum. A characteristic finding is multifocal islands in the papillary dermis and branching cords of basaloid epithelial cells in continuity at various sites with the basal layer of the epidermis and the hair follicles. We present a case of basaloid follicular hamartoma combined with basal cell epithelioma that developed on the tip of the nose in a 75-year-old man. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of basaloid follicular hamartoma combined with basal cell epithelioma in the Korean literature.
