Abstract

Dermatofibromas (DF), also known as cutaneous fibrous histiocytomas, are benign soft-tissue tumours that are typically asymptomatic. These lesions most commonly appear on the distal extremities and are frequently seen in young to middle-aged individuals. Diagnosis is primarily based on histopathological examination, which generally aligns with radiological findings. This report highlights an atypical variant of cellular DF, in a 26-year-old female who presented with a painless foot ulcer on her lower leg. Initially, the lesion was suspected to be a sarcoma. After excision, the diagnosis was confirmed through histopathological analysis. Cellular DF are challenging to diagnose as they can mimic more aggressive tumours, such as malignant fibrous histiocytomas or dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. While DF are common, their atypical variants, like cellular dermatofibroma, can complicate diagnosis and require timely diagnosis and effective management.

一种不寻常的细胞性皮肤纤维瘤的表现:1例报告。
皮肤纤维瘤(DF),也称为皮肤纤维组织细胞瘤,是一种通常无症状的良性软组织肿瘤。这些病变最常出现在远端肢体,常见于年轻人到中年人。诊断主要基于组织病理学检查,通常与放射检查结果一致。本报告强调了细胞性DF的非典型变异,在26岁的女性谁提出了一个无痛足溃疡在她的小腿。最初,病变被怀疑为肉瘤。切除后经组织病理分析确诊。细胞性DF的诊断具有挑战性,因为它们可以模拟更具侵袭性的肿瘤,如恶性纤维组织细胞瘤或皮肤纤维肉瘤隆突。虽然DF很常见,但其非典型变体,如细胞性皮肤纤维瘤,可能使诊断复杂化,需要及时诊断和有效治疗。
