  • Title: Combined cutaneous hamartoma encompassing benign melanocytic naevus, vellus hair cyst and epidermoid cyst.
    Author: Tsuruta D, Nakagawa K, Taniguchi S, Kobayashi H, Hamada T, Ishii M.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 2000 Jan; 25(1):38-40. PubMed ID: 10671970.
    Abstract:
    We describe a combined cutaneous hamartoma in a 57-year-old man, which comprised a vellus hair cyst, an epidermoid cyst and an intradermal melanocytic naevus in a single facial tumour. The vellus hair cyst was filled with keratinous material with unusual slit-like lacunae. While numerous cases of epidermoid cyst have been reported in association with an intradermal melanocytic naevus, our case is a rare example of a lesion combining several hamartomatous elements.
