Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma associated with rosacea.
A case of folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma associated with rosacea is presented. Clinically, a solid, 5-mm-sized nodule was observed on the nose which showed telangiectasia and a waxy appearance. Histologically, a large horn cyst was located in the dermis, and was continuous with the surface epidermis. It was associated with mature sebaceous glands and immature hair follicles. Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma and similar cases have recently been reported, but this is the first report accompanied by rosacea.
