Abstract

Dermatomyofibroma (DMF) is an uncommon benign myofibroblastic tumor most frequently seen in adult women; however, there are several reports of pediatric dermatomyofibroma.1,2 Lesions typically appear as long-standing, asymptomatic, skin-colored to red-brown, indurated plaques.1 DMF typically presents as a single lesion, with multiple DMFs representing an exceedingly rare presentation.3 Here, we present a case of multiple DMFs in a pediatric patient with a history of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and propose a possible association between multiple DMFs and embryonal tumors.
