[Fibrofolliculoma. Treatment with copper vapor laser].
There are many clinical presentations to fibrofolliculoma, described by Birt, Hogg and Dubé: the solitary and multiple forms, with or without other skin tumors, could also be markers of intestinal polyposis. Little is known of its pathogenesis. A case of multiple fibrofolliculoma of the face and neck is described. A new therapeutic approach by copper vapour laser is proposed.
