Abstract

Multiple dermatofibromas is a rare entity consisting of more than fifteen lesions. Multiple clustered dermatofibroma is a distinct variant of multiple dermatofibromas and is defined as a well-demarcated plaque composed of individual dermatofibromas. We report a 16-year-old boy with multiple clustered dermatofibroma in a segmental distribution, which has previously not been reported in the literature.

Keywords: CD34 positivity; Factor 13a positivity; benign fibrous histiocytoma; multiple clustered dermatofibroma; segmental distribution.
