Abstract:

Folliculosebaceous Cystic Hamartoma (FSCH) is a cutaneous hamartoma comprised of follicular, sebaceous and mesenchymal elements, and usually occurring during adulthood. Congenital and childhood presentations of this lesion are exceedingly rare. We describe herein a case of congenital FSCH on the midline and posterior region of the neck in a 1-year-old male infant and highlight the clinicopathological features of this rare lesion.
