Overview

Dermatofibroma is a common benign skin lesion that is seen in almost 3000 dermatophatology laboratory specimens per 100,000 ones. As most of patients with Dermatofibroma are asymptomatic, the worldwide incidence of Dermatofibroma is unknown. Patients of all age groups may develop Dermatofibroma. Although, it is more occurred in 20s to 40s ages. There is no racial predilection to dermatofibroma. Female are more commonly affected by Dermatofibroma than male. The female to male ratio is approximately 2 to 1.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

Dermatofibroma is a common benign skin lesion that is seen in almost 3000 dermatophatology laboratory specimens per 100,000 ones.

Incidence

As most of patients with Dermatofibroma are asymptomatic, the worldwide incidence of Dermatofibroma is unknown.

Age

Patients of all age groups may develop dermatofibroma. Although, it is more occurred in 20s to 40s ages.

Race

There is no racial predilection to dermatofibroma.

Gender

Female are more commonly affected by Dermatofibroma than male. The female to male ratio is approximately 2 to 1.

-Dermatofibromas occur most often in women; the male to female ratio is about 1:4. The age group in which they most commonly occur is twenty to forty-five years.

-==Overview==
-Dermatofibromas are a common skin lesion in almost all populations, with one study reporting that they account for 3% of all dermatopathology laboratory specimens. The overall worldwide incidence is difficult to determine, as the vast majority of patients are asymptomatic and therefore many patients may never seek care for these lesions. These lesions are most common in patients in their 20s to their 40s. Most studies indicate a female predominance, with an incidence ranging from equivocal to only slightly higher in females too as high as twice as frequent in females as compared to males
