- Abstract: Dermatofibroma (DF) is a common, benign fibrohistiocytic tumor with unknown pathogenesis.

It can variably present as a pigmented papule or nodule commonly located on the lower extremities. Hemosiderotic DF remains to be underreported in the Philippines despite the widely available dermatopathology services in the country.
