Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Myofibroma is the term for a group of solitary or generalized soft tissue tumors that may be located in the skin or within skeletal muscle, bone, and viscera. These tumors occur most commonly in children. However, examples of myofibroma have been reported in adults, in whom they usually present as solitary lesions of the head and neck, trunk, and extremities. "Cutaneous nodules" have been reported in both localized and systemic scleroderma, but to our knowledge, there are no specific reports of myofibromas developing in this patient population. We report a case of acral myofibromas in a patient with generalized cutaneous morphea. This occurrence is of interest in view of the possible role of myofibroblasts in the pathogenesis of scleroderma. |
