Notes:
An unusual giant combined dermatofibroma is reported in a 34-year-old man who presented with skin-coloured swellings on the medial aspect of the left scapula. The plaque was well defined, reddish-brown and 25–30 cm in diameter. It was also tender and indurated. Several similar smaller lesions (satellites) were present around the plaque. Light microscopy of an incisional biopsy from the main lesion showed architectural features of a deep penetrating type of dermatofibroma, with xanthomatous aggregates, myxoid changes and probable myofibroblastic differentiation. Our case represents an extraordinary example of giant combined dermatofibroma with satellitosis. Despite its benign nature, a wide excision is contemplated because of its unsightly appearance and physical discomfort.
