Benign fibrous histiocytomas (also known as "Dermal dendrocytoma,"[1] "Dermatofibroma,"[2] "Fibrous dermatofibroma,"[2] "Fibrous histiocytoma"[2]:668, "Fibroma simplex",[1] "Nodular subepidermal fibrosis",[1] and "Sclerosing hemangioma"[1]) are benign skin growths.[3]

Presentation

Dermatofibromas are hard papules (rounded bumps) that may appear in a variety of colors, usually brownish to tan. Although typical dermatofibromas cause little or no discomfort, itching and tenderness can occur. Some physicians and researchers believe dermatofibromas form as a reaction to previous injuries such as insect bites or thorn pricks.[4] They are composed of disordered collagen laid down by fibroblasts. In rare cases, basal cell carcinoma may develop in a dermatofibroma.

They are usually found on the leg.[5]

Deep penetrating dermatofibroma may be difficult to distinguish, even histologically, from rare malignant fibrohistocytic tumours like dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.[6]

Dermatofibromas occur most often in women; the male to female ratio is about 1:4.[4]
