Purpose
We report a case a pediatric patient with an eyelid lesion found to be a basaloid follicular hamartoma.
Observations
A six-year-old female with juvenile diabetes who presented with a benign eyelid lesion harboring an aberrant eyelash.
Conclusions and Importance
Basaloid follicular hamartoma is a rare benign neoplasm arising from hair follicles. These lesions can resemble basal cell carcinomas and require complete excision.
