Abstract
- Fibrofolliculoma is a relatively uncommon benign neoplasm that develops on the head and neck, upper trunk and arm. Typically, it presents as a multiple lesion, and each has a characteristic histopathologic pattern of centrally dilated follicular infundibulum surrounded by well-circumscribed, thick mantle of fibrotic tissue and numerous thin anastomosing strands of follicular epithelium extending into stroma. We recently confirmed a unique case of solitary nodular form of fibrofolliculoma occurred on the cavum concha of 56-year-old male patient. We report this interesting case with a review of literature.
