Follicular cyst derived from hair matrix and outer root sheath.
A new follicular cyst was reported. The lower part of the cyst wall was composed of both basophilic and shadow cells as seen in pilomatricoma, whereas the upper part of the wall consisted of clear cells. Our case apparently derives from hair matrix and outer root sheath.
