Abstract
- Follicular hamartoma is a rare, benign adnexal tumor with varieties of clinical diversity. But, Histological feature is characterized by a proliferation of immature hair follicle in the dermis with multifocal islands and thickened perifollicular sheath. Pili multigemini is also a rare, developmental anomaly of hair growth with multiple hairs from two or more matrices and papillae in a single pilosebaceous unit. Its prevalence and pathogenesis are unknown. We describe herein a rare case of localized follicular hamartoma with pili multigemini suggesting the possibility of association on pathogenesis between them.
