Multiple Dermatomyofibromas in a Patient with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Dermatomyofibromas are a rare, benign, acquired neoplasm with less than 150 reported cases worldwide. The etiologic factors that contribute to the development of these lesions are currently unknown. To our knowledge, there have been only six previously reported cases of patients presenting with multiple dermatomyofibromas, and in each of these cases, there were less than ten lesions present.

Atypical fibroxanthoma arising within erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp.

We describe a painful atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) arising in a setting of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp. Complete excision was curative and also was associated with resolution of pain and clearance of the erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp. We review the diagnosis and management of AFX and discuss the role of actinic damage in this process.
