It is also of interest that desmoplastic trichoepitheliomas are occasionally found within nevi. Scan power view showing a vertically oriented follicular malformation or hamartoma within an intradermal nevus. High power view of the superficial part of the follicular lesion. Most of the stroma in the uppermost part is collagenous and eosinophilic. It appears to be an integral part of the lesion.
Nevus cells are to the left of the follicular lesion.
This area shares some of the features that can be seen in a fibrofolliculoma. Low power view of the mid portion of the follicular lesion. The stroma between the interconnecting branches of epithelium is myxoid. Nevus cells are seen on each side of the follicular lesion. Once again, the stroma forms an integral part of the mass.
