Medallion-like dermal dendrocyte hamartoma in a 36-year-old male

A Case of Medallion-Like Dermal Dendrocyte Hamartoma with a Distinctive Size and Vascular Component

“…These cases were clinically indistinguishable from the MLDDH. Their ages were 19 and 36, respectively [2,4]. Our case was mainly similar to Ducharme's case (Case 6) [4].…”

“…Histopathological findings are characterized by epidermal atrophy and the presence of CD34+ spindle cell proliferation in the dermis [1][2][3][4]. Nine cases have been reported in English literature so far [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Our case had similar clinical and histopathological features as previously reported cases except for distinctive size and vascular component.…”

“…Then, Rodriguez-Jurado et al described MLDDH firstly as an atrophic lesion [1]. All previous reported cases were well-demarcated, round, triangular or oval erythematous and atrophic plaques of several centimeters in diameter [1][2][3][4][5]. Blood vessels and telangiectasias were seen below some of the lesions [1,5].…”

“…Skin biopsy specimens of each nine patients included epidermal atrophy and presence of CD34 positive spindle cell proliferation in the dermis [1][2][3][4][5]. Immunohistochemical profile of the cases were shown in Table 2.…”

“…Also, underlying blood vessels and telangiectasias may be visible [2]. Histopathological findings are characterized by epidermal atrophy and the presence of CD34+ spindle cell proliferation in the dermis [1][2][3][4]. Nine cases have been reported in English literature so far [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”
