International Journal of Dermatology May 19, 2019
Siegel DR, et al. - In order to ensure appropriate diagnosis as well as treatment of cellular dermatofibromas (CDF), which are an uncommon variant of benign fibrous histiocytomas, researchers analyzed the presentation and outcome in 93 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CDF via this retrospective chart review. The reported average age at diagnosis was 42.65 years. Dermatology (38.71%) was found to be the most common specialty service that diagnosed and treated patients. Findings revealed a high local recurrence rate in CDF patients. Also, CDF showed similarities to more dangerous and malignant lesions. These patients visited many subspecialty services for diagnosis and aggressive treatment is recommended in these cases.
