Abstract:
Sclerotic fibroma of the skin is an uncommon benign tumor characterized histopathologically by a well-circumscribed dermal nodule showing hypocellular hyalinized collagen bundles. The bundles are separated by clefts and arranged in a storiform pattern. The histogenesis of this fibroma is uncertain. Herein, we report a case of sclerotic fibroma presenting on the left ala nasi of a 27-year-old woman without Cowden's disease.
