Sumario:Dermatofibroma (DF) is one of the most common skin neoplasms seen by dermatologists.  Out of the various histopathological subtypes of DF, the atrophic variant is considered rare.

We present a case of atrophic DF, describing its dermoscopic features and the correlation with histopathology.
