Abstract

We describe a combined cutaneous hamartoma in a 57-year-old man, which comprised a vellus hair cyst, an epidermoid cyst and an intradermal melanocytic naevus in a single facial tumour. The vellus hair cyst was filled with keratinous material with unusual slit-like lacunae. While numerous cases of epidermoid cyst have been reported in association with an intradermal melanocytic naevus, our case is a rare example of a lesion combining several hamartomatous elements.
