Abstract:
Multiple dermatofibromas are rare and their etiology is unknown. An association with immunosuppression or altered immunity including autoimmune disorders has been reported. The mechanism for the development of multiple eruptive dermatofibromas in the setting of immune disturbance remains unclear. We herein report four cases of multiple dermatofibromas, one of them is associated with immunosuppression.
