Plaque with asymptomatic verrucous surface on the right leg: Dermatofibroma

Abstract

Dermatofibroma is a benign fibrohistiocytic neoplasia. The etiology of dermatofibroma remains uncertain but it is considered to have a traumatic origin such as an insect bite or follicular rupture. Dermatofibroma clinically presents as smooth-surface nodular lesions.

We report a patient with a plaque with asymptomatic verrucous surface on the right leg.

Dermatofibrom sık görülen benign fibrohistiyositik bir neoplazidir. Etiyolojisi halen belirsizliğini korumaktadır fakat böcek ısırması ve follikül rüptürü  gibi bir travmadan kaynaklanabileceği kabul edilmektedir. Dermatofibrom klinikte genellikle düzgün yüzeyli nodüler lezyonlar şeklinde görülmektedir. Burada sağ bacakta asemptomatik verrüköz yüzeyli plağı olan bir hastayı sunuyoruz.
