title: Collagenous fibroma (desmoplastic fibroblastoma).
abstract: Collagenous fibroma (desmoplastic fibroblastoma) is a recently described tumor that may arise in the subcutaneous tissue or skeletal muscle. We report a case of collagenous fibroma, occurring on the forehead of a 67-year-old man. An awareness of this entity is necessary to avoid confusion with other soft tissue neoplasms, especially extraabdominal fibromatosis.
