A Case of Congenital Vellus Hamartoma
Abstract
- We report a case of congenital vellus hamartoma, which consists of numerous matured vellus hair follicles and sebaceous glands. This patient is 4-month-old male with multiple, variable sized nodules on the right epicanthsl fold area since birth. Histopathologically, some of the infundibular portion of the vellus hair shows irregular and reticulated hyperplasia. There are numerous well-formed vellus hair follicles surrounded with thick fibrous sheath and some of them are associated with rudiment sebaceous glands.
