Hair follicle nevus in a distribution following Blaskho's lines.
We present a case of a rare follicular hamartoma, a hair follicle nevus. Although most previous reports have been solitary lesions, the case we are reporting had multiple papules and nodules following Blaskho's lines. There have been no reports of malignancies arising in these hamartomas.
