Pilar sheath acanthoma is a rare benign skin lesion.
General
- Rare.[1]
- Considered a hamartoma.[1]
- Does not regress like keratoacanthoma.
- Typically middle aged individuals - median age in one series 55 years old, range 46-75 years old.[2]
Gross
- Raised lesion with a central depression - somewhat similar to keratoacanthoma.
- Classcially upper lip.[2]
DDx:
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Cystic cavity with branching:[3]
- Contains keratineous material.
- Usually extends from surface to deep cutis - like a hair shaft.
- Cyst lining consists of a thickened squamous epithelium (acanthosis).
- +/-Mitoses.
DDx:
- Trichofolliculoma - no branching of cavity, associated with hair & sebaceous glands.[3]
- Dilated pore of Winer - associated with hair & sebaceous glands.[3]
- Epidermal inclusion cyst - no branching, no accessory structures.
