Benign fibrous histiocytoma (also known as dermatofibroma, subepidermal nodular fibrosis, histiocytoma, and sclerosing hemangioma) refers to a group of neoplastic lesions that show both fibroblastic and histiocytic differentiation. It is reported to present at any age with predominance in male adults (2.5:1). We report a case of 18 year old male presented with complaint of a mass in nasal vestibule. Local excision was done and sent for histopathological examination. No definite cases of BFH involving the nasal vestibule have been identified, so far. One case of a not–better–specified histiocytoma of the nasal vestibule has been reported in 1964.[4]
