A rare form of dermatofibroma (DF) is described in the literature as giant dermatofibroma. Due to the rarity and distinct presentation that can be confused with more sinister skin tumours, these can cause diagnostic uncertainty and require clinicopathologic correlation. Familiarity with this rare presentation of an otherwise common entity is required to prevent unnecessary clinical doubt and excessive interventions. We report a case of giant dermatofibroma on the leg of a 29-year-old healthy male that presented with a 7 cm, nonulcerated pink, brown plaque, adding to the limited literature of less than 30 known cases.
文献中描述了一种罕见的皮肤纤维瘤(DF)形式,称为巨大皮肤纤维瘤。由于其罕见性以及可能与更严重的皮肤肿瘤相混淆的独特表现,这些情况可能导致诊断不确定性,需要临床病理相关性分析。为防止不必要的临床疑虑和过度干预,需要熟悉这种在其他方面常见的实体的罕见表现。我们报告了一例29岁健康男性腿部的巨大皮肤纤维瘤病例,该病例表现为一个7厘米、无溃疡的粉红色、棕色斑块,这为已知不到30例的有限文献增添了新病例。
