case_images: Skin examination revealed the presence of purpuric nodules on the back, thigh and forearm with a size of 2cm which appeared a few months ago (Figure 1), and in the biopsy of a skin lesion in the thigh histological appearance of a dermatofibroma (histiocytofibroma) (Figure 2).
case_images: skin biopsy- histiocyto fibroma (dermatocyto fibroma): the reticular dermis has a non-encapsulated lesion of moderate cell density made up of spindle cells; the epidermis is acanthotic and has hyperpigmentation; (A: original magnification HEx25); (B: original magnification HEx400)
