“…Perifollicular fibromas [1] are characterized by concentric proliferation of connective tissue surround ing small follicles; fibrofolliculomas [4,10] have a double component: epithelial strands in an anastomosizing pattern, located in the upper part of the follicle, above the level of the sebaceous gland, and loose connective tissue with abundant mucopolysaccharides surrounding the epithelial component with resemblance to fibroadenoma of the breast on low-power examination; trichodiscomas [2] arc composed of a highly vascular con nective tissue with abundant mucosubstances.…”

In 1960, Zackheim and Pinkns [1] first proposed the exis tence of tumors derived from the fibrous root sheath, and they introduced the term 'peri follicular fibromas' to describe benign fibro mas with perifollicular arrangement of the collagen fibers. In 1974, Pinkns ct al.…”

“…It presents usually as a single small, firm, skin-coloured papule and is often misdiagnosed as melanocytic naevus, wart or small nodular basal cell carcinoma. The origin of the FPF has been debated and it has been considered to be a perifollicular fibroma [1], a resolving melanocytic naevus [2], an angiofibroma [3] or a proliferative reactive process consisting mainly of dermal dendrocytes [4]. …”
