Abstract
Pleomorphic sclerotic fibroma is a benign neoplasm exhibiting features of sclerotic fibroma and pleomorphic fibroma. We report another such case. The tumor presented as a firm, 0.5-cm, flesh-colored papule on the forehead of a 72-year-old white man for an unknown duration. Histologic examination revealed a neoplasm in which the superficial portion showed features of a pleomorphic fibroma, the deeper portion showed features of a sclerotic fibroma, and a transitional area was present in between. We propose that pleomorphic fibroma, sclerotic fibroma, and pleomorphic sclerotic fibroma form a spectrum. Pleomorphic sclerotic fibroma may be used as a broad diagnostic term to encompass the spectrum.
