Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Plaquelike dermal fibromatosis is a rare neoplastic proliferation of fibroblasts.
  • This condition predominantly affects women and presents in the periaxillary region.
  • Lesions exhibit slow but persistent growth, reaching up to 5 cm in diameter.

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical and histological features of a cohort of patients with plaquelike dermal fibromatosis.
  • To evaluate the treatment outcomes, specifically recurrence rates after surgical excision.

Summary:

  • The study details 25 cases (22 women, 1 man, 2 prepubertal boys) of plaquelike dermal fibromatosis.
  • Histological examination reveals a bandlike proliferation of well-differentiated, cellular fibrous tissue in the reticular dermis.
  • Complete excision resulted in no observed recurrences during the follow-up period.

Impact:

  • This study contributes to understanding the clinical behavior and histopathological characteristics of plaquelike dermal fibromatosis.
  • The findings suggest that surgical excision is an effective treatment modality with a low risk of recurrence.
  • Provides valuable data for dermatologists and pathologists managing this rare condition.
