Description
Summary:Dermatofibromas are common skin tumors although there are some different clinical forms, which are seen rarely. Giant dermatofibromas are benign, pedunculated lesions that are larger than 5 cm with typical dermatofibroma histopathologic features. Typically, plaque-like dermatofibromas are considered a subtype of giant dermatofibromas without a pedicule. Here, we aimed to report a case of plaque-like dermatofibroma seen in a 5-year-old girl due to its rarity and to review this clinical picture together with all the cases in the literature.
