Basaloid follicular hamartoma of the eyelid in a pediatric patient

Abstract

Purpose: We report a case a pediatric patient with an eyelid lesion found to be a basaloid follicular hamartoma. Observations: A six-year-old female with juvenile diabetes who presented with a benign eyelid lesion harboring an aberrant eyelash. Conclusions and Importance: Basaloid follicular hamartoma is a rare benign neoplasm arising from hair follicles. These lesions can resemble basal cell carcinomas and require complete excision.
