A Case of perifollicular Fibroma

Abstract
|
|
|
Perifollicular fibromas are very undsual adnexal tumor of the skin. Clinically, they are small firm akin colored or pinkish papules and usually located on the face and neck.
We report a case of perifollicular fibroma which occurred in a 30-year-old woman, who had asymptomatic multiple small skin colored papules on the right side of her face for about 20 years. On physical examination, the papules were ferm and
non-tender.
The biopsy specimen demonstrated concentric proliferation of fibrous tissue surrounding hair follicles ad the collagen fibers within concentric fibrous sheaths surrounding hair follicles stained green with Masson's trichrome stain, which were
quite
typical for perifollicular fibroma. Because we could not find any epithelial proliferation in the serial sections, fibrofolliculoma could be ruled out. The skin lesions were removed by electrodesiccation and followed up for 5 months without
recurrence.
