Abstract
-
Various epidermal changes may be present in the overlying epidermis of dermatofibroma. Follicular basal cell hyperplasia is a relatively rare epidermal change found in 2-23% of dermatofibroma and it should be differentiated from basal cell carcinoma. We report a case of dermatofibroma associated with focal basal cell hyperplasia and a review of the literature.
