Abstract:
Fibrofolliculoma is a rare benign follicular neoplasm histopathologically characterized by central dilated follicular infundibulum surrounded by well-circumscribed, thick mantle of fibrotic tissue, with anastomosing strands of follicular epithelium extending into the stroma. This condition usually occurs in multiple and rarely solitarily. Herein we report on a 34-year-old man with a solitary, skin colored, bean sized nodule on his chin which histopathologically shows a typical fibrofolliculoma.
