Sclerotic epithelioid dermatofibroma

Am J Dermatopathol. 2011 Feb;33(1):98-101. doi: 10.1097/DAD.0b013e3181df6bfa.

Abstract

Dermatofibroma ("fibrous histiocytoma") is a common soft tissue lesion with many variants based on a great variety of architectural patterns, cellular morphology and stromal reactions. The coexistence of 2 or more patterns within a single lesion is well known and causes diagnostic difficulties. We report a case of an unusual histologic presentation of a solitary sclerotic and epithelioid dermatofibroma in a 48-year-old woman.
