Storiform collagenoma: case report

Abstract: Storiform collagenoma is a rare tumor, which originates from the proliferation of fibroblasts that show increased production of type-I collagen. It is usually found in the face, neck and extremities, but it can also appear in the trunk, scalp and, less frequently, in the oral mucosa and the nail bed. It affects both sexes, with a slight female predominance. It may be solitary or multiple, the latter being an important marker for Cowden syndrome. It presents as a painless, solid nodular tumor that is slow-growi… Show more

“…Clinically, an isolated CSC is a small lump or nodule of whitish, pink, or skin color that is usually located on the face and limbs, but it can also develop on the chest, scalp, nail, and oral mucosa [ 11 ]. In a series of 11 patients, Rapini and Golitz [ 12 ] noted a small female predilection (8/11).…”

“…A considerable number of skin tumors must be differentiated from CSC such as giant cell collagenoma, fibrolipoma, sclerotic lipoma, pleomorphic fibroma, dermatofibroma, and intradermal Spitz nevus [ 11 ]. Surgical excision in free margins is the treatment of choice [ 11 ]. However, some tumors may reoccur [ 13 ].…”

“…Circumscribed storiform collagenoma (CSC), also known as solitary sclerotic fibroma, is a rare benign tumor; there are less than 100 case reports in the world literature [1,2]. This condition was recognized in 1972 by Weary et al in the tongue biopsy specimen of a patient with Cowden syndrome (CS), [2]. This syndrome is characterized by the development of multiple hamartomas in different body segments, mainly in the skin and gastrointestinal tract; its prevalence has been estimated as 1:200,000 individuals [3].…”
