“…Explaining the patient of the benign nature of DF is required. If treatment is requested, surgical excision is the method of choice [2], [23]. Cryotherapy has also been reported to be effective in selected cases, with some risk of hypopigmentation [2].…”

BACKGROUND: Dermatofibroma (DF) is a common benign skin tumor (Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma) that mostly affects the extremities with a tendency to occur more often in older females than males. It usually presents as a slow growing small brown dome shape papule on the extremities. DF has a chronic nature and can sometimes regresses spontaneously. Dermoscopy is essential in the evaluation of DF to help differentiate it with other skin tumors. The gold standard evaluation for diagnosis of DF is biopsy with histopathologic examination. Removal of DF is often due to cosmetic factors, with surgical excision being the preferred method for removal. DF has an excellent prognosis. CASE REPORT: We present two case reports of women with hyperpigmented nodules on the lower extremity. Dimple sign was positive. From dermoscopic study showed a pigment network and central white patch pattern. On histologic examination revealed proliferation of fibroblast such as spindle cells as a storiform pattern and hyperplastic epidermis with hyperpigmentation of the basal layer. Based on clinical features, dermoscopy and histopathological evaluation, the diagnosis of DF was established. Both patients were perform surgically excision and have a good result. CONCLUSION: Dermatofibroma is benign fibrous histiocytoma that represents one of the most common skin tumours. Nodular hyperpigmented dermatofibroma is a clinical variant of Dermatofibroma which can be treated with surgical excision with good prognosis.

Benign fibroushistiocytoma of the gingiva

2013

Benign fibroushistiocytoma is a benign connective tissue tumor rarely seen affecting the head and neck region. These tumors were believed to be of histiocytic origin as they are comprised of cells, which showed spindled morphology and cells with a round histiocytic appearance. The current concept consents that the lesional cells rather represent a fibroblastic differentiation. Diagnosis of these tumors proves to be challenging even with the use of immunohistochemistry due to lack of any specific markers. Here, we describe a case which presented in the gingiva mimicking a reactive lesion, which in fact was a tumor.

Fibrous histiocytoma is a benign soft tissue tumour that may present as a fibrous mass anywhere in the human body. The involvement of the oral cavity is extremely rare and very few cases have been reported in literature till date. We here report a case of benign fibrous histiocytoma localized in the oral cavity. The clinical and histological features of the lesion are discussed precisely in the light of a literature review of this pathology in oral cavity.

Benign fibrous histiocytoma of the external auditory canal: Case report and literature review

Abstract: Abstract:Background: The benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is a mainly dermal neoplasm composed of a mixture of fibroblastic and histiocytic cells. It is usually reported as occurring on the extremity, retroperitoneum or orbit but not commonly in the other head and neck regions.
