“…The clustered dermatofibromas developed on a superficial vein thrombosis 1 month after the transplant and regressed in number and size over a period of 5 years. This case is likely a different entity from MCDF and is more consistent with clustered eruptive dermatofibromas 13 …”

“…This case is likely a different entity from MCDF and is more consistent with clustered eruptive dermatofibromas. 13 The histological differential diagnosis of MCDF is broad and includes DFSP, atypical fibroxanthoma, nodular fasciitis, leiomyoma and dermatofibrosis lenticularis disseminata. 4,6 DF and DFSP can sometimes be difficult to differentiate and thus immunohistochemistry is often used.…”

The presence of multiple dermatofibromas is rare and is defined as more than 15 lesions. Multiple clustered dermatofibroma (MCDF) is a distinct entity with only 12 reported cases in the literature. MCDF occurs in healthy individuals of both sexes in the first to third decades on the lower half of the body and portends an excellent prognosis. On histology, MCDF is consistent with benign dermatofibromas. We report a 31-year-old healthy Hispanic woman with a 14-year history of slowly progressive MCDF located on her right hip initially misdiagnosed as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. We believe this case represents the 13th report of MCDF in the literature and the second from North America.

“…Previous reports suggest that immunosuppressants, such as corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, and azathioprine, are related to the occurrence of MEDFs. 1,2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]13,14,26,32 Our patient had received methotrexate and corticosteroid treatment for 3 months and 2 months, respectively, before developing MEDFs. The patient had received systemic corticosteroids intermittently during the last 10 years, during which no MEDFs occurred.…”
