is a common benign skin tumor. Hemosiderotic dermatofibroma (HDF) is a rare variant of DF. It often mimics other skin lesions including melanocytic lesions and vascular tumors. In this report, we described the clinical features and histopathological findings of a rare HDF case that mimics melanoma. Dermatofibroma (DF) is a common benign cutaneous lesion generally reported in the trunk or extremities of young or middle-aged adults with a slight predominance in females. 1,2 Based on specific histopathological features, DF has multiple variants which may include but not limited to aneurysmal/hemosiderotic, 3 cellular, 4 epithelioid cell histiocytoma, 5 atypical (pseudosarcomatous), 6 atrophic, 7 and lipidized. 8 It usually presents as a solitary well-circumscribed nodule with reddish/ brown color on gross examination and central white patch and peripheral pigment network on dermatoscopy. 9 However, this disease has a wide range of presentations. About 29% DF cases harbor atypical macroscopic features resembling other skin malignancies including melanoma (16% of all cases), vascular tumor, and basal cell carcinoma. 10 Hemosiderotic DF (HDF) is a rare variant of DF which is known to have melanoma-like pattern. Skin examination by dermatoscopy is not able to reliably distinguish HDF from melanoma. 10,12 In this scenario, a definite diagnosis could only be made by histopathological examination. There are three cases of HDF reported in the literature from the United States. 13-15 Here, we report another case of HDF which was clinically suspicious for melanoma.
