ABSTRACT
The superficial fibramatoses are a rare group of mainly benign disorders that clinically manifest as slow progressive dermal hypertrophies. This bewildering group of dermal matrix proliferation is composed of fibrous tissue, fibroblastic cells or spindle stromal cells with varying degrees of cellularity. Skin lesions are usually solitary or localized to a specific site of predilection. This is a case of a 15-year-old Filipino boy, presenting with asymptomatic firm, skin colored to erythematous papules and nodules on his limbs and nose. The lesions slowly worsened, resulting in flexion deformity and limited range of motion of both hands.
