1
Q

Dermatofibroma

A

Interstitial spindle cells with collagen trapping and overlying acanthosis. Ringed lipidized siderophages. Factor XIIIa+, CD34-.

2
Q

Aneurysmal dermatofibroma (sclerosing hemangioma)

A

A type of dermatofibroma with aneurysmal dilatation of vessels.

3
Q

Fibrous histiocytoma

A

A type of dermatofibroma with large histiocytoid vesicular nuclei with prominent nucleoli.

4
Q

Dermatofibroma with monster cells

A

A type of dermatofibroma with very large cells with vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli. Benign!

5
Q

Adult myofibroma

A

Blue myxoid nodules with myofibroblasts and peripheral fibrovascular proliferation.

6
Q

Dermatomyofibroma

A

Plaque-like tumor with horizontally-aligned spindle cells which “respect” adnexal structures.

7
Q

Fibromatosis

A

Corkscrew-shaped myofibroblasts and collagen. Locally infiltrate but not metastatic.

8
Q

Infantile myofibromatosis

A

Fibromatosis in children which tends to spontaneously regress (become less cellular and more fibrous). Visceral inolvement can be fatal.

9
Q

Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis

(cause?)

A

Nodular hyaline fibrosis in the dermis. Affects face, hands, joints, gingiva.

AutRec CMG2/ANTXR2 mutations

10
Q

Scar, hypertrophic scar, keloid

A

Scar: Horizontally-aligned fibroblasts and vertically-aligned blood vessels. No elastic tissue.

Hypertrophic: Whorled proliferation

Keloid: Central bundles of amorphous “bubble-gum” collagen.

11
Q

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy

A

Disordered myxoid and mature fibrous and fatty areas with compartmentalized appearance.

12
Q

Infantile digital fibroma (inclusion body fibroma)

A

Criss-cross fascicles of spindle cells with red inclusion bodies (actin?).

13
Q

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath

A

Osteoclast-like giant cells (randomly distributed nuclei) with plump fibroblasts and collagen+hemosiderin.

14
Q

Fibroma of tendon sheath

A

Essentially, giant cell tumor of tendon sheath without the giant cells. Bland, plump fibroblasts.

15
Q

Elastofibroma dorsi

A

Large fibrous tumor with deposits of beaded elastic fibers.

16
Q

Sclerotic fibroma

(association?)

A

“Starry sky” whorls of hypocellular collagen.

Associated with Cowden’s syndrome

17
Q

Pleomorphic fibroma

A

Scattered large hyperchromatic stellate nuclei. No mitoses! CD34+.

18
Q

Sclerosing perineurioma

A

Whorled, nodular, or storiform concentric appearance. EMA+.

19
Q

Angiofibromas

A

Concentric perivascular fibrosis with stellate, factor XIIIa+ stromal cells.

20
Q

Fibrous papule of the face (benign fibrous papule, solitary angiofibroma)

A

Common type of angiofibroma with large pyramid-shaped melanocytes at the dermal-epidermal junction.

21
Q

Acquired digital fibrokeratoma

A

An acral angiofibroma with hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and hypergranulosis.

22
Q

Nodular fasciitis

A

“Tissue culture” loose myxoid pattern of fibroblasts with erythrocytes and inflammatory cells.

23
Q

Cranial fasciitis, proliferative fasciitis

A

Cranial: Variant of nodular fasciitis that occurs on head of a child

Proliferative: Variant of nodular fasciitis with ganglion-like giant cells and peripheral collagen trapping

24
Q

Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma

A

Plump, epithelioid fibroblasts palisading around chondroid foci sometimes with calcification and/or osteoclast-like cells.

25
Q

Desmoid tumor (aggressive fibromatosis)

A

Bland myofibroblastic proliferation with tendency for deep infiltration and recurrence (borderline). Beta-catenin+.

26
Q

Plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor

A

Biphasic tumor with plexiform fascicles of fusiform/spindle cells and nodules of histiocytic/osteoclast giant cells.

27
Q

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP)

IHC? Molecular?

A

Malignant storiform lesion that infiltrates fat and effaces epidermal rete.

CD34+, Factor XIIIa-. t(17;22) COL1A1-PDGFB

28
Q

Bednar tumor, Giant cell fibroblastoma

A

Bednar: Pigmented DFSP

Giant cell fibroblastoma: A juvenile variant of DFSP with multinucleated giant cells lining vascular-like spaces.

29
