Abstract:
A 24-year old man with no history of trauma or other diseases presented with a tender growing lesion on the left upper arm for ten months' duration. The clinical appearance was similar to that of bulla. An excisional biopsy revealed multiple islands of shadow cells with small foci of basophilic cells at the periphery in deep dermis, along with areas of calcification and foreign body reaction within the tumor. In the dermis above the tumor, was collagen degeneration, with large spaces and numerous dilated blood vessels.
