Dermatofibroma (DF) is a common benign cutaneous tumor with many variants based on alterations in the morphology and composition of its diverse elements. One very infrequent type is sclerotic fibroma-like DF (SF-DF). We report 7 new cases of SF-DF. In addition, their main clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features were compared with 14 unselected common DFs and with 3 sclerotic fibromas (SFs). Microscopically, the 7 cases of SF-DFs showed an unencapsulated, well-circumscribed, hypocellular central nodule with thick collagen bundles arranged in a storiform pattern with prominent clefts. The overlying epidermis was attenuated. The periphery of this nodule was more cellular with histopathologic features of common DF. The 7 SF-DFs patients were 4 women and 3 men with a mean (+/-SD) age of 44.8 (+/-15.5) years. These 7 patients were younger than those suffering from SFs [71.0 (+/-17.3) years; (p=0.04)] and older than those presenting common DFs [30.5 (+/-12.3) years; (p=0.03)]. Immunohistochemically, spindle cells in all 7 SF-DFs were negative for CD34 and CD99. On the contrary, the 3 cases of SF were positive for CD34 and CD99. All of the common DFs were negative for CD34 and only 4 (28.6%) of them were positive for CD99. In conclusion, SF-DF is an uncommon variant of DF with similar clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features. SF-DF shares certain histopathologic features with SF but they are immunophenotypically different. Therefore, both entities should be differentiated.
