Classification of multiple basaloid follicular hamartoma
| Type | Features |
|---|---|
| Inherited | |
| Familial multiple BFH | Inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple lesions on face, trunk and extremities |
| Generalized BFH syndrome | Inherited autosomal dominantly due to mutation in PTCH gene. Manifestations include generalized congenital or childhood onsed multiple BFH with multiple milia, comedo-like lesions, hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, and palmar and/or plantar pits |
| Congenital | |
| Congenital generalized BFH | Generalized BFH associated with alopecia and cystic fibrosis |
| Acquired | |
| Linear unilateral BFH | Multiple grouped lesions in a band-like fashion along the lines of Blaschko. This form of BFH has been described with extensive trichoblastoma, Graves’ disease, congenital dorsal scoliosis and Happle-Tinschert syndrome |
| Generalized BFH with associated anomalies | Acquired generalized BFH may be associated with myasthenia gravis, alopecia and systemic lupus erythmatosus |
| Generalized BFH without associated anomalies | Multiple acquired BFH rarely occur sporadically |
