Dermatofibroma diagnosis. Examination of dermatofibromas on the back of the left leg of a female patient. Dermatofibroma, also called benign fibrous histiocytoma, is a non-cancerous tumour that usually occurs on the hands or feet. It is composed of disordered collagen laid down by fibroblast cells. In rare cases, basal cell carcinoma may develop within a dermatofibroma. For close-up images, see C038/2298 and C038/2299. For dermascope images, see C038/2301 and C038/2302.
