Abstract
Introduction:Fibrofolliculoma usually is a clinically asymptomatic multiple connective tissue tumor, appearing perifollicular, skin-colored and located on the head or neck. and it usually arises in the form of multiple lesions, but rarely as a solitary lesion.We report a case of solitary fibrofolliculoma on the scalp. Case Report:A 67-year-old female presented with an asymptomatic mass on the scalp. The lesion appeared as a flesh-colored, dome-shaped, smooth nodule being the size of 5 mm in diameter, with a smooth surface, and located on the scalp. Shave excision was performed, and the diagnosis of fibrofolliculoma was confirmed finally through histological exam. Conclusion:Solitary fibrofolliculoma is rare, and generally diagnosed by histopathological exam after excision and biopsy, and one can very easily miss the diagnosis with a simple dermatologic examination when the patient presents with an asymptomatic lesion arising in the scalp. Fibrofolliculoma should be included in the differential diagnosis when a localized mass lesion arising in the scalp is encountered.
