    Author: Ferrari A, Soyer HP, Peris K, Argenziano G, Mazzocchetti G, Piccolo D, De Giorgi V, Chimenti S.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2000 Dec; 43(6):1123-5. PubMed ID: 11100035.
    Abstract:
    In this study, dermatoscopic examination of 24 dermatofibromas was performed to evaluate specific dermoscopic criteria. A central white scarlike patch was appreciable in 22 of 24 lesions, whereas 20 of 24 dermatofibromas exhibited a delicate pigment network at the periphery. This stereotypical dermatoscopic finding allowed the diagnosis of dermatofibroma in most instances. (J Am Acad Dermatol 2000;43:1123-5.).
