    Glossary Hair Follicle Tumors

    abnormal growths originating in hair-producing skin structures

    Hair follicle tumors are abnormal growths that originate in the hair follicles, the tiny structures in the skin from which hair grows. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may present as lumps or lesions on the skin. They can vary in appearance and behavior, requiring different diagnostic and treatment approaches depending on their type and severity.
