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.

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.
