SCLEROTIC FIBROMA

Sclerotic fibroma is an uncommon fibrotic neoplasm that occurs both sp oradically as well as in patients affected by Cowden's disease. We pre sent an additional case of solitary sclerotic fibroma not associated w ith Cowden's disease, Although most of the lesion was sclerotic, there was a cellular area with some multinuclear cells. We conclude that sc lerotic fibroma is a mesenchymal neoplasm whose clinical and histopath ologic features are not only different but opposite to those of dermat ofibroma.
