Abstract
Dermatofibromas are common cutaneous lesions. In most cases, they can be readily identified clinically and show a typical histology. In a small percentage of cases they show unusual clinical and more often histologic features that may cause differential diagnostic problems. In addition there are reactive fibrous lesions with neural or smooth muscle features that we speculate may represent dermatofibroma variants.Keywords
