Özet
Dermatofibroma is a common, benign tumor of the dermis, often appearing as a solitary lesion of unknown etiology that presents on the lower extremities in adults. Multiple and eruptive dermatofibromas are unusual. Although the etiology of multiple eruptive dermatofibromas is unknown, most patients have underlying diseases of immune-mediated origin, such as autoimmune diseases, immunosuppressive treatments, HIV infection, and hematologic malignancies. Herein, we report an unusual case of multiple eruptive dermatofibromas that presented with nearly 100 well-circumscribed firm, tan to brown round papules (1-10 mm in diameter) all over the body, including the face, palms, and soles. The number of lesions increased gradually over a 2-year period, without any symptoms. Comprehensive clinical and laboratory diagnostic evaluation showed no evidence of an underlying disorder. Histopathological examination of one of the lesions from the patient's thigh revealed dermatofibroma. Based on these clinical and histopathological findings, the patient was diagnosed as a rare case of multiple eruptive dermatofibromas not associated with an underlying disease.
