April 2025 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology” A 24-year-old male presented with a solitary nodular lesion on the face, diagnosed as a fibrofolliculoma with cystic changes. Fibrofolliculomas are uncommon benign tumors originating from perifollicular mesenchyme, typically appearing as small, dome-shaped papules on the head and neck. While usually associated with Birt–Hogg–Dube syndrome and multiple lesions, solitary fibrofolliculomas are rare and non-hereditary.
