Abstract

We report on an unusual dermatofibroma with granular cells. The dermatofibroma contained mitotic figures raising a differential diagnosis that included malignant granular cell tumor. Granular cell dermatofibroma is an uncommon variant, but one that clinicians and surgeons should become aware of to ensure accurate diagnosis.
