“…Trichofolliculomas generally present as unique papules with a central infundibulum from which several fine, classically white hairs form a fluffy or woolly tuft1 (Figure 2). It usually presents in adulthood but can be seen from childhood and is predominantly located on the face, neck or scalp, although other less common sites, such as in our case, have been reported 2. Although the soldier’s diagnosis was easy, these tumours are often undiagnosed because doctors who do not specialise in dermatology lack the relevant knowledge.…”

Trichofolliculoma (TF) is a follicular hamartoma in which hairs protruding out of single orifice. To the best of my knowledge, only two auricular TF has been reported in the English literature. Moreover, clinically TF have been described to mimic malignancy. I present a case of an adult female with mass at the intertragal notch of the left auricle for several years. The clinical diagnosis was thought to be epidermoid cyst, accessory tragus, and other benign skin adnexal tumor. To prevent recurrence, the wide local excision of the mass was performed. The final diagnosis of TF was made. No recurrence was noted during the follow-up of 1 year. It is important for otologists to be familiar with the clinical and pathologic characterization of TF, to make the correct diagnosis.

There are various types of diseases that can involve the nasal vestibule. Here, we presented the case of a patient with swelling of the right nasal vestibule and was incidentally diagnosed histopathologically as trichofolliculoma, a rare skin lesion. We discussed the characteristics of trichofolliculoma disease and presented a diagnosis, necessary treatment of this case and related literature review.</p>
