Trichofolliculoma is an infrequent benign tumor of the hair follicle, with a higher prevalence between the second and sixth decade of life. It usually presents as a solitary lesion in the form of a nodule, papules or asymptomatic skin-colored plaques with a pore or central cavity obstructed with keratin from which a “tuft of hairs” emerges.The most frequent location is usually the face, followed by the scalp and neck.1 Histopathological characteristics are diagnostic.

We report a case of a 44-year-old man with multiple trichofolliculomas on his face.
