title: [Fibrofolliculoma].
abstract: We report on a 85-year-old woman suffering from a fibrofolliculoma at the root of her nose. This benign tumor is very uncommon, and its histological findings are little known. Pathogenetically we suspect a self-contained interaction between the epithelial and mesodermal component of the pilary complex.
