A Case of Desmoplastic Nevus / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Desmoplastic nevus, a benign melanocytic neoplasm characterized by predominantly spindle-shaped nevus cells within a fibrotic stroma without junctional activity, nesting, or pigmentation, can be confused with fibrous lesions and other melanocytic proliferations, including desmoplastic melanoma. We report a rare case of desmoplastic nevus occurring in the left helix of the ear of a 25-year-old woman, which has typical histopathologic features of desmoplastic nevus.
