Plaquelike dermal fibromatosis with a preference for the periaxillary region is described in 22 women, 1 man and 2 boys before puberty. The lesions grew slowly but relentlessly and measured up to 5 cm in diameter. No recurrences after excision have occurred to date. Histologically there is bandlike proliferation throughout the stratum reticulare consisting of well-differentiated, highly cellular fibrous tissue.
