An 8-year-old boy had a congenital, solitary verrucous lesion on his ear that histologically showed numerous maloriented infundibulocystic structures from which radiated immature sebaceous lobules as well as hair germs with rudimentary papillae. The surrounding stroma was fibrillary, containing large quantities of mucin. We conclude that perifollicular mucinosis, considered to be specific to Carney's syndrome, can also be observed in solitary folliculosebaceous hamartoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
