Atrophic Dermatofibroma: A Case Report With Dermoscopic and Histopathological Correlation.

Atrophic dermatofibroma (ADF) is a rare variant of dermatofibroma (DF). In this article, we report a case of an asymptomatic 44-year-old woman with a concerning atrophic skin lesion on her leg. Clinical examination and dermoscopy were not enough to confirm the diagnosis, so surgical excision with a histopathological report led to the final diagnosis of atrophic dermatofibroma and the reassurance of the patient. Atrophic dermatofibroma should be considered in the clinician's differential diagnosis of atrophic lesions. Despite its benign nature, more sinister pathologies must be ruled out.
