Abstract
Dermatomyofibroma is a rare, benign cutaneous tumor derived from myofibroblasts. It is predominantly found in young women, and only a few cases have been reported in males. This entity is not generally well known and often misdiagnosed. We report such a case of dermatofibroma occurring in a 23-year-old male with a brief review of the English literature.
