ABSTRACT
Clinically, folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma (FSCH) lacks distinct features, but it has been reported as an asymptomatic, 1- to 3-cm, dome-shaped nodule on the face. Histopathologically, FSCH is characterized by adnexal and folliculosebaceous cystic proliferation with various mesenchymal changes.

Histopathologic findings demonstrated appropriate features of FSCH. We present an interesting case of giant FSCH in a 48-year-old female.
