Trichofolliculoma is a very rare, benign hamartomatous skin adnexal tumor originating from the hair follicle. The tumor which presents as a papule or nodule is usually observed on the scalp and face.
We report the case of a 49-year-old female who presented with a solitary papule on the nose. The lesion which was observed macroscopically and dermoscopically compatible with trichofolliculoma was completely removed by punch biopsy. The diagnosis of trichofolliculoma was confirmed histopathologically, and no recurrence was observed in the follow-up.
Trichofolliculomas can macroscopically mimic some skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and sebaceous carcinoma. Awareness of its typical clinical and dermoscopic features facilitates diagnosis and prevents aggressive surgical intervention.
毛发滤泡瘤是一种非常罕见的良性错构瘤性皮肤附属器肿瘤，起源于毛囊。该肿瘤表现为丘疹或结节，通常出现在头皮和面部。
我们报告一例49岁女性，其鼻部出现一个孤立性丘疹。经肉眼和皮肤镜观察，该病变与毛发滤泡瘤相符，通过打孔活检将其完全切除。经组织病理学确诊为毛发滤泡瘤，随访期间未观察到复发。
毛发滤泡瘤在肉眼上可模仿一些皮肤癌，如基底细胞癌和皮脂腺癌。了解其典型的临床和皮肤镜特征有助于诊断，并可避免激进的手术干预。
