Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma or trichofolliculoma? A spectrum of hamartomatous changes inducted by perifollicular stroma in the follicular epithelium.
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology 2008 September
BACKGROUND: Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma (FSCH) histologically resembles trichofolliculoma.
METHODS: The clinical and histologic characteristics of both tumors were studied retrospectively, comparing these findings with those of other similar follicular tumors described in the literature.
RESULTS: Fourteen cases of FSCH and 15 cases of trichofolliculoma were diagnosed over 5 years. FSCH were larger, of longer duration, located mostly in the head and neck region. Histologically, the two lesions had a similar architecture except for the presence of a secondary follicle in trichofolliculoma.
CONCLUSION: FSCH are probably more common than previously thought and may be part of a spectrum of cystic follicular tumors. The perifollicular stroma may influence differentiation of the cystic wall, resulting in a variety of follicular tumors with overlapping features.
