Definitions

Perifollicular fibroma is a rare cutaneous hamartoma that shows differentiation in the connective tissue sheath of hair follicles. It can occur as a solitary papule or as multiple lesions. Histologically, the lesion consists of a concentric arrangement of cellular fibrous tissue around a normal hair follicle. Multiple Perifollicular fibroma (PFF) lesions have been linked to adenomatous colonic polyps and they may be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Most reports have described multiple PFF lesions involving the scalp.
