Histology of fibrofolliculoma / trichodiscoma

Sections through fibrofolliculoma show a proliferation of follicular epithelium surrounded by a perifollicular fibrous sheath (figure 1–3). The epithelial strands are composed of thin cords of epithelial cells. The stroma surrounding the epithelium may be densely fibrous and sclerotic or rather loose and contain mucin. The patient illustrated in Figures 1-3 was later found to have Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.
