A pruritic pedunculated pink nodule on the leg

Dermatol Online J. 2023 Apr 15;29(2). doi: 10.5070/D329260776.ABSTRACTHerein, we present a patient with a lipidized fibrous histiocytoma, an underrecognized variant of dermatofibroma (cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma). Our patient presented with a nodule on the ankle that showed foamy histiocytes and hyalinized collagen bundles on histology. This case highlights a classic presentation and features of lipidized fibrous histiocytoma, raising further awareness of this distinctive variant of dermatofibroma that should be distinguished from xanthoma and xanthogranuloma.PMID:37220292 | DOI:10.5070/D329260776
