Familial multiple basaloid follicular hamartomas: A report of two affected sisters.
Basaloid follicular hamartoma (BFH) is one of several benign skin tumors that may occur in multiple and solitary forms. While the histologic findings of BFH may be observed in a variety of clinical settings, familial multiple BFH represents a distinct clinical entity characterized by tiny flesh-colored papules scattered predominantly over the face. We present two sisters with this rare condition and review the clinical and histologic differential diagnosis of familial multiple BFH.
