Skin Classic Fibrous Histiocytoma

Preferred Label : Skin Classic Fibrous Histiocytoma;

NCIt synonyms : Classic Dermatofibroma;

NCIt definition : A variant of fibrous histiocytoma of the skin characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped neoplastic cells that are surrounded by dendrocytes and macrophages in the dermis. The neoplastic cellular infiltrate may exhibit a storiform growth pattern. The overlying epidermis is usually hyperplastic with elongated hyperpigmented rete ridges.;

Neoplastic status : Benign;
