Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Dermatomyofibroma is a rare benign neoplasm of myofibroblasts.
  • It typically presents as a small, firm, dermal plaque with characteristic discoloration.

Observation:

  • A 20-year-old female presented with an unusual skin lesion.
  • The lesion was an 8 cm, poorly defined, linear, and indurated area on the posterior neck.

Findings:

  • This represents the largest reported dermatomyofibroma to date.
  • The lesion exhibited a unique linear distribution, differing from typical presentations.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of dermatomyofibroma.
  • Recognizing this variant is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate patient management.
