Abstract

Dermatofibroma is a benign fibrohistiocytic neoplasia. The etiology of
dermatofibroma remains uncertain but it is considered to have a traumatic
origin such as an insect bite or follicular rupture. Dermatofibroma clinically
presents as smooth-surface nodular lesions.

We report a patient with a plaque with asymptomatic verrucous surface on
the right leg.

Sağ bacakta asemptomatik verrüköz yüzeyli plak: Dermatofibrom

Abstract

Dermatofibrom sık
görülen benign fibrohistiyositik bir neoplazidir. Etiyolojisi halen
belirsizliğini korumaktadır fakat böcek ısırması ve follikül rüptürü  gibi bir travmadan kaynaklanabileceği kabul
edilmektedir. Dermatofibrom klinikte genellikle düzgün yüzeyli nodüler
lezyonlar şeklinde görülmektedir. Burada sağ bacakta asemptomatik verrüköz
yüzeyli plağı olan bir hastayı sunuyoruz.
