Pleomorphic fibroma on the scalp.
We present the eleventh case of benign pleomorphic fibroma arising on the scalp in a young Korean woman. Histopathologically these lesions were characterized by a polypoid or dome-shaped cutaneous fibrous mass with sparse cellularity but striking nuclear atypia and rare mitotic figures. They all showed benign clinical behavior, despite these histopathological findings.
