"Unusual Presentation of Epitheloid Dermatofibroma- Rare Case Report".

Dermatofibroma is a commonly occurring cutaneous entity usually centered within the skin's dermis. Dermatofibromas are referred to as benign fibrous histiocytomas of the skin, superficial/cutaneous benign fibrous histiocytomas, or common fibrous histiocytoma. These mesenchymal cell lesions of the dermis clinically are firm subcutaneous nodules that occur on the extremities in the vast majority of cases and may or may not be associated with overlying skin changes. A 20 years old male presented to ENT OPD, at a private hospital, with complaints of a huge mass over right side of face since 15 years, which was slowly growing and not associated with pain. On clinical examination, hard, non tender, lobulated cauliflower like mass located over right side of face extending from right side temporal region to upper border of mandible from superior to inferior. From anterior to posterior it was extending from lateral 1/3rd of forehead and covering lateral canthus of right eye upto right side tragus. We have taken incisional biopsy which was suggestive of dermatofibroma. Then surgery was performed with patient's consent. Excision with 1 cm free margin was done. Raw area was covered with full thickness skin grafting and advancement flap. We found no recurrence till date. Dermatofibroma in the head and neck region is less common and often present a difficult differential diagnosis like Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, Kaposi Sarcoma, Basal cell carcinomas. The aim of case report is to represent case of dermatofibroma of epitheloid variety which is unusual in size.
