title: Clinical and histological patterns of dermatofibromas of the nail apparatus.
abstract: True fibromas develop as painless slow-growing nodular tumours. They may appear in any portion of the nail apparatus. The clinical features vary according to their anatomical site. In contrast, the histological features, consisting of a dermal hypocellular reticular nodule with ill-defined demarcation, were similar in all our patients, and factor XIIIa was negative.
