| Popis: | The skin covers our body and exhibits a complex structure that is adapted to the different body areas. The scalp skin is distinctive, and the histopathological alterations in its diseases also present distinctive features. We present the clinical case of a 28 year old female patient, with no significant medical history. She reported a nodular tumor on the left parietal region of the scalp, which had been present for 10 years and showed slow growth. The patient had no major discomfort other than an occasional discharge of scant whitish material upon applying pressure. Intralesional corticosteroids were administered but had no effect. Over the following year, the discomfort increased, leading to the decision to remove it. The anatomopathological study found dilated follicular hairy structures in the dermis filled with keratin and debris, surrounded by multiple sebaceous glands that flow there, all surrounded by a characteristic mesenchymal cells population, diagnosing a folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma. |
