Plaque-like myofibroblastic tumour (PLMT) is a rare skin condition which presents in childhood and infancy as a nodular fibrous plaque. Including our case, there are currently only 14 cases reported in the literature. Although it represents a well-defined clinicopathological diagnosis, there is significant under-reporting of this condition secondary to under-recognition and potential misdiagnosis as dermatofibroma.

Article Synopsis
  • Fibroblastic connective tissue nevus (FCTN) is a rare, non-cancerous skin lesion derived from fibroblasts, which was identified in a 2-year-old boy with an unchanging red plaque on his scalp.
  • A biopsy revealed abnormal growth patterns of fibroblastic cells, and although it tested positive for CD34 (which can indicate other conditions), further genetic testing ruled out a more aggressive tumor known as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
  • The case emphasizes the need for dermatologists and pathologists to accurately differentiate between various mesenchymal tumors, as they can have vastly different implications for treatment and management.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Hartford Hospital, Hartford, CT 06106, USA.

A case of a well-demarcated plaque measuring 11 cm without satellites of several years' duration is presented. It showed typical histologic findings of dermatofibroma, prompting a diagnosis of plaque-like dermatofibroma. The relationship to multiple clustered dermatofibromas and plaque-like myofibroblastic tumor is discussed.

Plaque-like myofibroblastic tumor is a rare and benign pediatric soft tissue tumor. It presents as a slowly growing plaque reaching several centimeters in diameter, made up of multiple nodules. The clinical and histological features of this benign entity are similar to other fibrohistiocytic or myofibroblastic tumors occurring in childhood, so the diagnosis can be difficult.
