Basaloid Follicular Hamartoma: A Cautionary Tale and Review of the Literature

Basal cell carcinomas in mice arise from hair follicle stem cells and multiple epithelial progenitor populations

“…35,36). Although these lesions resemble human basaloid follicular hamartomas in several respects (49,51,52), as previously discussed (35), we favor a more conservative classification as basaloid hamartomas, with variable degrees of sebaceous hyperplasia.…”

Milia: A review and classification

“…There is loose scant fibrous stroma, with clefting and without mucin. 103,106 Comedone-and milia-like lesions demonstrate superficial infundibular cysts associated with rudimentary follicular hamartomas. 103 Familial milia and absent dermatoglyphics (OMIM 136000)…”

Familial seborrhoeic keratosis associated with multiple ‘pure reticulated acanthomas’ and infundibulocystic basal cell carcinomas

“…There was no evidence of myasthenia gravis, palmar or plantar pits, hypotrichosis or hypohidrosis. Orthopantomography did not show jaw cysts or any other features of Gorlin syndrome or generalized basaloid follicular hamartoma syndrome, and no skeletal dysplasias were present. Therefore, Gorlin syndrome could be clinically excluded.…”
