Abstract
Basaloid follicular hamartoma is a benign, superficial malformation of hair follicles that can be mistaken both clinically and histopathologically for basal cell carcinoma. Basaloid follicular hamartoma has been described as a solitary lesion or with other genodermatoses such as Bazex-Dupre-Christol syndrome, BCNS. Here we present a 73-year-old patient with an asymptomatic congenital lesion on the forehead, scalp, and facial which increased in size over the years. Histopathology showed a basaloid follicular hamartoma associated with the complete phenotype of Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, an association that is rarely described.
