Abstract

Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma is a distinctive skin malformation, which presents as a solitary, smooth- surfaced, skin-colored papule or nodule. This hamartoma usually occurs on the central part of the face, particularly on the nose. In 1998, Bolognia et al. described a genital variant of folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma, which has not been reported to date in Korea. We herein report a rare case of folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma which occurred on the labia majora of a 28-year-old woman. Histopathologically, multiple, dilated, follicular, cystic structures were observed with numerous sebaceous lobules arising from its wall. There was an excess of fibrous components around these structures, which included small venules, adipocytes and neural tissue.
