Abstract:
PURPOSE: To report a case of trichofolliculoma in the upper eyelid. METHODS: An excisional biopsy of the nodule was done on a 62-year-old male, who had a small, nodular, non-tender mass on the right upper eyelid. RESULTS: We confirmed typical trichofolliculoma which was composed of large central cystic hair follicle with many small hair follicles branching from the wall.
