Three Cases of Fibrous Papule of the Face
Abstract
- Fibrous papule of the face occurs nearly always as a solitary lesion on the face, especially on the nose. The lesion which appears as a dome shaped papule, is skin colored, pigmented or red, We present herein three cases of fibrous papule of the face, which developed on the ala nasi of 45-year-old man, and 49-year-old woman, and on the nostrile of 25-year-old woman. Histopathologic findings showed dermal angiofibrotic changes in two cases. In one of the two cases, there were atypical cells with large irregular nucleus and a few multinucleated giant cells interspersed in the edematous dermis, and there was distinct perifollicular fibrosis in the other case.
