- Title
Hemosiderotic dermatofibroma: clinical and dermoscopic presentation mimicking melanoma.
- Authors
Laureano, André; Fernandes, Cândida; Cardoso, Jorge
- Abstract
Background: Dermatofibromas are common benign skin neoplasms. Main observations: The authors report the clinical, dermoscopic and histopathological features of a hemosiderotic dermatofibroma mimicking melanoma in an 85-year-old woman. Conclusions: Atypical dermoscopic patterns may prove difficult to differentiate from melanocytic lesions, and because of its polymorphic,melanomalike presentation, definite diagnosis of hemosiderotic dermatofibroma can be reached by histopathological examination
