Dermatofibroma simulating seborrheic keratosis dermoscopically*
Dermatofibroma is a frequent benign tumor of easy clinical diagnosis in most cases, but that can mimic other dermatoses. Dermoscopy may help to define the diagnosis and its classical pattern is a central white area, similar to a scar, surrounded by a discrete pigment network. However, dermoscopic fi...

| description |
Dermatofibroma is a frequent benign tumor of easy clinical diagnosis in most
cases, but that can mimic other dermatoses. Dermoscopy may help to define the
diagnosis and its classical pattern is a central white area, similar to a scar,
surrounded by a discrete pigment network. However, dermoscopic findings are not
always typical. We describe here a case of dermatofibroma exhibiting ridges,
furrows and pseudocomedos, a pattern which is typical of seborrheic keratosis,
in dermoscopy. |
