We report a case of dermatitis forming a halo around a dermatofibroma. This phenomenon has initially been described around a naevocellular naevus and called Meyerson's naevus, then around other non naevus skin lesions. So far, it had not yet been reported around a dermatofibroma. The condition seems to be non-specific reaction of unknown mechanisms that does not modify the course or the prognosis of this circumscribed lesion.
