Dermatofibroma differential diagnosis
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
Overview
Deep penetrating dermatofibroma may be difficult to distinguish, even histologically, from rare malignant fibrohistocytic tumors e.g dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans[1]
Differential Diagnosis
- Deep penetrating dermatofibroma may be difficult to distinguish, even histologically, from rare malignant fibrohistocytic tumors e.g dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans[2]
Immunohistochemical Staining
| Neoplasm | CD34 | Stromelysin-3[3] | Factor XIIIa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dermatofibroma | + | + | + |
| Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans | + | - | - |
