ABSTRACT Trichofolliculoma is a hamartoma with follicular differentiation. It is a rare benign tumor that presents mainly in adults, between second and sixth decades of life, which mainly affects the face and neck. Most cases reported in the literature are derived from adult patients, making its suspicion rare in children; despite being recognized by their clinical characteristics, a proper diagnosis can only be established after histopathologic evaluation. We report a case of an 8 year old boy with a 7 year evolution of trichofolliculoma in scalp with a satisfactory response to surgery without recurrence to date
