Recurrent sclerotic fibroma of the skin.
The pathologic findings of a sclerotic fibroma of the skin may resemble those of other benign cutaneous lesions. In this report, the sequential pathologic changes of a recurrent sclerotic fibroma of the skin during a period of 7 years are documented. As the lesion became older, there was not only a decrease in cellularity, but also a progressive organization of the collagen bundles toward a "plywood-like" appearance.
