The disorder that is presently called 'Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome' was in reality delineated in 1975 by Otto P. Hornstein and Monika Knickenberg from Erlangen (Germany) who emphasized that the occurrence of multiple 'perifollicular fibromas' represented a distinct autosomal dominant trait heralding ex

Fibrofolliculoma is a benign, perifollicular, connective tissue tumor, and it usually arises in the form of multiple lesions, but rarely as a solitary lesion. We report a case of solitary fibrofolliculoma on the eyelid. A 68-year-old female presented with an asymptomatic mass on the right upper eyel
