Abstract
FSCH is a benign, underdiagnosed lesion, localized on the face, particularly on the nose. It is dome-shaped or pedunculated and grows slowly. Differential diagnoses include nevus lipomatosus superficialis and “sebaceous” trichofolliculoma. FSCH can be readily identified by the presence of adipocytes and a fibrous stroma. One case was unique in its appearance of a large pedunculated nodule with a proliferating cyst. Prior to the invidualization of this entity, such cases were interpreted as nevus lipomatosus superficialis or “sebaceous” trichofolliculoma, although their histological appearance was inconsistent with such a diagnosis.
