Abstract

Myxoid dermatofibroma, a rare histological variant of dermatofibroma, is characterized by revealing mucinous material between the collagen bundles admixed with other typical findings of common dermatofibroma. Multiple clustered dermatofibromas are also uncommon clinical presentation, defined by multiple lesions localized on one anatomical region. We report an atypical case of multiple clustered dermatofibromas with myxoid stroma which is a very rare clinical and histologic variant of the common benign tumor. To the best of our knowledge this is the second report of multiple clustered myxoid dermatofibroma.
