==Dermatofibroma==
==Dermatofibroma==
*Abbreviated ''DF''.
{{Main|Dermatofibroma}}
===General===
*AKA ''fibrous histiocytoma''.
*Reactive process -- it is ''not'' a neoplasm.
*Usually associated with previous trauma.
**In women... usually legs.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP492>{{Ref WMSP|492}}</ref>
*Prominent fibrous bundles, especially at the edge of the lesion.
**Surrounded by spindle cells (fibroblasts).
***Usually thought of as fibroblasts surrounded by fibrous material ("collagen-trapping").
*Lack of adnexal structures, i.e. no sweat glands, no hair.
*+/-Epidermal changes - known as "dirty fingers":<ref>BD. 13 April 2011.</ref>
**Acanthosis (thickened epithelial layer - specifically thickened ''stratum spinosum'').
**Basal keratinocyte hyperpigmentation.
 
DDx:
*[[Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans]] (DFSP) - usu. deeper, classically has adnexal structures and fat within lesion.
*[[Neurofibroma]].
*[[Blue nevus]].
*[[Melanoma]], esp. desmoplastic neurotropic-type.
*[[Fibromatosis]].

====Subtypes====
Like all common things... there are subtypes:<ref>{{Ref Sternberg5|51}}</ref>
*Cellular.
*Deep penetrating.
*Lipidized - with foamy macrophages, hemorrhage and Touton-like giant cells.
*Epithelioid cell histiocytoma.
*Fibrotic.
*Aneurysmal - large blood filled + features of ''lipidized''.
*Granular cell dermatofibroma.
*Dermatofibroma with monster cells.
=====Cellular dermatofibroma=====
Features:
*High cell density in the dermis - "blue" at low power.
*Collagen bundles - '''key feature'''.

<pre>
SKIN LESION, LEFT SHOULDER, EXCISION:
- DERMATOFIBROMA.
</pre>
 
====Micro====
The sections show skin with bland spindle cells interspersed between fibrous bundles.
The fibrous bundles are prominent at the periphery of the lesion (collagen-trapping).
Focal acanthosis is present.
 
The lesion does not extend to the adipose tissue. No atypia is apparent.  No mitotic
activity is identified.
 
The lesion extends to the edge of the tissue.
