[Multiple fibrofolliculomas].
Fibrofolliculoma is a rare tumor of the perifollicular mesenchyma. A 44-year old man noticed a growing number of small whitish firm papules on his neck and the upper thorax over the past two years. Histological examination demonstrated on multiple biopsies typical features of fibrofolliculoma. Further evaluation of the patient has not revealed any sign of neoplasia. The variable clinical manifestations of fibrofolliculomas are discussed.
