Dermoscopic features of solitary neurofibroma: A retrospective analysis of 32 cases.

Neurofibromas are common benign nerve sheath tumours. For non-epithelial and nonmelanocytic tumours, the relative distance of the proliferative tumour from the epidermis, and/or attachment to it, determines the dermoscopic feature contributed by the tumour mass. We observed a yellow to yellow-brown background/homogenous area, followed by skin-coloured to brown background/homogenous area as the common dermoscopic patterns. Conclusion In conclusion, the presence of a yellow, yellow-brown, brown, skin-coloured to grey background/homogenous area with exaggerated skin markings and absence of vascular structures can point to the diagnosis of solitary neurofibroma.
