Trichofolliculoma is a rare benign neoplasm originated from hair follicle. Although this tumor often shows a suggestive clinical appearance, an accurate diagnosis only can be established by histopathologic findings. We report a case of intranasal trichofolliculoma. To the best of our knowledge, trichofolliculoma has not been previously described in this location.
We report a 39 year old female, who 6 years later of accidental injury with cactus bristles, developed granulomatous lesions in her face with an ulcerative tendency. Histopathologic picture showed granulomatous infiltrates filling the full-thickness of the dermis, with abundant number of multinuclead giant cells foreign-body-type and Langhans-type and mixed inflamatory infiltrate. In the dermo-hipodermal limit, several foreing bodies were found with a thorny or barb shape, some of them into the giant cells, with were PAS positive and showed a brilliant refractile aspect under polaroscopic examination.
