Abstract

Basaloid follicular hamartoma is a rare bening malformation which may be clinically and histopathologically confused with basal cell carcinoma. Malignancy can occur, thus it is important to recognize it. We present a patient with a unilateral linear lesion clinically following Blashko lines, with an alopecic scalp plaque and ipsilateral oral lesions; this association was not previously reported in the consulted literature (Dermatol. Argent., 2013, 19(2): 100-105).
