Abstract

Hair follicle nevus is a very rare hair follicle tumor and should be differentiated from other hair follicle hamartomas, such as trichofolliculoma, dilated pore of Winer, pilar sheath acanthoma, and trichodiscoma. We describe a 4-year-old female patient who presented erythematous papule on the face that was histopathologically diagnosed as hair follicle nevus.
