Abstract
We report an eight-year-old female who showed a recurrence of multiple dermatofibromas on the left trunk. She was born with no apparent abnormalities, and her parents did not notice any lesions until she was one year old. New lesions have developed repeatedly on the brownish macules that became visible prior to nodule formation. She has undergone surgical excision 4 times. The number of lesions developing after each has varied; the total developed thus far is 17. From these findings, we made the final diagnosis of multiple clustered dermatofibroma (MCDF). We herein describe this case with a review of the literature. In most cases of MCDF, the lesions tend to increase in number as the patient approaches puberty. We should pay close attention to any further development throughout adolescence.
