Abstract

Follicular hybrid cysts are cutaneous tumors that arise from different portions of the hair follicle. We describe a follicular hybrid cyst of the tarsus that contained features of pilomatricoma and steatocystoma and perforated the palpebral conjunctiva. The unusual location and histopathologic features are discussed.
