Multiple, Clustered Dermatofibroma: A Rare Clinical Variant of Dermatofibroma

open access: yesJournal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2003
Background: Although patients with one to two dermatofibromas are common, cases of “multiple” dermatofibromas (more than 15 lesions) are rare and may occur in the context of altered or normal immune function. Patients with multiple dermatofibromas clustered in one anatomic area, by contrast, are strikingly rare.

Metastasizing dermatofibroma in lung

Annals of Diagnostic Pathology, 2007
Benign dermatofibroma is very common skin tumor and can very rarely metastasize. We report a case of metastasizing dermatofibroma on a 36-year-old woman who presented multiple bilateral lung nodules. She underwent incisional biopsy for cellular dermatofibroma of the right shoulder 7 years ago.

Ultrastructure of dermatofibroma

Archiv f�r Dermatologische Forschung, 1973
Eight dermatofibromas were studied by electron microscopy. The essential cell was the fibroblast, characterized by a well developed rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), a distinct Golgi zone and large numbers of cytofilaments. The fibroblast of the dermatofibroma was engaged in collagen production and fat storage.

Cryotherapy for dermatofibromas

Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 1987
Summary Twenty-seven patients with 35 dermatofibromas were treated with liquid nitrogen cryotherapy. The results were good or excellent in over 90% of cases. The addition of aspirin and clobetasol propionate to the regimen appeared to reduce side-effects. Dermatofibromas or histiocytomas are common, benign, skin tumours.

The Elusive Dermatofibromas

Archives of Dermatology, 1990
Dermatofibromas skin lesions seen in a dermatology practice. They are well circumscribed, solitary or multiple, usually hyperpigmented dermal nodules, typically less than 1 cm in diameter. They may be slightly protuberant, but are most often flat, and are generally located on the extremities.

Sebaceous induction in dermatofibroma: a common feature of dermatofibromas on the shoulder

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, 2015
BackgroundDermatofibroma (DF) has multiple histopathological variants and overlying acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and hyperpigmentation are often present. We have frequently observed sebaceous induction in DFs on the shoulder and wanted to assess if this is a site‐specific finding.MethodsWe prospectively collected 100 DFs and assessed for sebaceous ...

Melanoma associated with a dermatofibroma

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, 2006
Background:  Dermatofibromas are common benign cutaneous fibrohistiocytic neoplasms, whereas melanomas are potentially aggressive malignancies. Differentiating these two entities can occasionally be difficult.Methods:  We report the case of a 56‐year‐old female presenting with a firm pink papule on the left thigh.Results:  Histopathology revealed ...

DERMATOFIBROMA

Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology, 1932
Our attention was directed to this type of tumor by the observation in two patients of numerous growths that clinically resembled Boeck's sarcoid to such an extent as to lead several dermatologists of experience to make that diagnosis erroneously. On further investigation we found that the clinical appearance of dermatofibroma varies considerably.
