Multiple eruptive dermatofibromas occuring in a patient under hemodialysis

Abstract

Dermatofibroma is a benign lesion of the skin, characterized by a fibroblastic proliferation. It is usually a solitary nodule, but some cases of patients diagnosed with multiple eruptive dermatofibromas have been reported. We herein describe another rare case of numerous ill-defined nodules occurring in a patient on long term-dialysis. Microscopic examination revealed typical features of dermatofibroma.
