Abstract
Abstract: Trichofolliculoma is a rare benign, hamartomatous adnexal tumour of the skin. Aetiology seems to be unclear. It is usually seen in adults, with no gender predilection. The most commonly involved sites are the face and scalp. It appears as a papule or nodule with small protruding hairs, which is a classic feature of the tumour. It has unique diagnostic and histopathological features that help in making a definitive diagnosis. Here, we report an exemplary case of an adult male patient aged 45 years with a gradual progressive diffuse swelling on the left side of the face for 1.5 years. Clinically, it was diagnosed as a sebaceous cyst, but after the biopsy histopathological evaluation was performed, and the diagnosis was confirmed as trichofolliculoma.
