Abstract: Dermato myofibroma is included in the group of benign cutaneous mesenchymal neoplastic lesions of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic lineage. It's a rare disease and there are approximately only one hundred cases described worldwide in the medical literature up to now. The present study reports the case of a young woman with typical clinical cutaneous lesion and histopathological diagnosis of dermato myofibroma. Special stains were carried out which showed preserved collagen fibers and immunohistochemistry was p… Show more

“…The treatment of choice dermatomyofibroma is surgical excision, with an excellent prognosis. 1 - 3 , 5 , 6 , 8 , 9 However, in our patient, surgical excision resulted in keloid scarring, followed by pain, pruritus and considerable cosmetic disfigurement ( Figure 5 ). Therefore, we opted to follow the other lesions clinically as an alternative to surgical excision, temporarily avoiding a worse cosmetic outcome in the area.…”

“…Dermatomyofibroma can also be mistaken by a hypertrophic scar. Some authors say that the differentiation between them can be done by the presence of elastic fibers, that are preserved in dermatomyofibroma 1 , 2 , 6 , 9 and abnormal or absent in hypertrophic scars. 1 - 3 , 6 However, for Ferreira and D'Assumpção, elastic fibers are almost absent in keloids, but can be found in hypertrophic scars, what can make differentiation difficult.…”
