AI Article Synopsis
- Trichofolliculomas are non-cancerous growths linked to hair follicles, typically appearing as a single bump with fine hairs.
- They are rare in multiple forms, and their unique histological feature includes a cyst in the skin layered with hair follicles.
- This report highlights a rare case where multiple trichofolliculomas on the face resembled another skin condition known as multiple trichoepitheliomas.
Article Abstract
Trichofolliculomas are benign hair follicle hamartomas which were initially considered as hair follicle tumors. Usually presenting as a solitary lesion associated with a tuft of vellus hairs, multiple trichofolliculomas are rare. Trichofolliculomas are characterized by a histopathological feature of dermal keratin cyst with cyst wall showing radiating hair follicles. We report this case for the rare presentation of multiple trichofolliculomas on the face which clinically mimicked multiple trichoepitheliomas.
