ABSTRACT
Benign fibrous histiocytoma is a common benign cutaneous tumor
encountered in dermatological practice. However, its hemosiderotic
variant is rare, predominantly affecting females, with a clinical
predilection for the extremities. Histopathologically, it’s characterized
by numerous small blood vessels, extravasated erythrocytes,
and hemosiderin deposition. Clinically, it can be indistinguishable
from melanoma, making additional diagnostic tools crucial for
accurate diagnosis. We present the case of a 19-year-old female
patient from El Salvador with a 6-month history of a nodular, erythematous-
violaceous, ulcerated lesion on the antero-proximal
aspect of her right leg.
