Congenital Localized Basaloid Follicular Hamartoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

The document presented a case report and literature review on congenital localized basaloid follicular hamartoma (BFH), a rare benign skin tumor. The case involved a patient with a solitary lesion, which was histologically confirmed as BFH. The review highlighted the clinical and histopathological features of BFH, its differentiation from other skin conditions, and potential associations with systemic diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus. The authors emphasized the importance of accurate diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatments and discussed possible therapeutic approaches, including the use of retinoids. The study underscored the need for further research to better understand the pathogenesis and optimal management of BFH.
