Hair cysts (trichilemmal cysts) are also called trichilemmal cysts. Autosomal dominant hereditary hair cysts originate from the isthmus of growing hair or around the hair follicles of degenerating and resting hair. Hair cysts are easy to be exfoliated, and are solid, smooth white cysts. Can be diagnosed based on clinical manifestations and histopathology.
