AB Angiofibroma  is  a  descriptive  term  for  a  group  of  lesions  with  different  clinical  presentations  but  with  the  same  histopathology.  These  lesions  include  fibrous  papule,  facial  angiofibroma,  pearly  penile  papule,  adenoma  sebaceum,  periungual  fibroma,  and  Koenen’s  tumor.  This  chapter  will  focus  on  facial  angiofibroma.  Generally,  an  angiofibroma  presents  as  a  1  to  5  mm  skin-colored  to  erythematous  dome-shaped  papule  on  the  face.  When  it  presents  as  multiple  facial  lesions,  it  can  be  associated  with  tuberous  sclerosis  or  multiple  endocrine  neoplasia  type  1  (MEN  1).
