Collagenous fibroma (desmoplastic fibroblastoma)
Collagenous fibroma (desmoplastic fibroblastoma) is a rare, benign subcutaneous soft tissue tumor that affects mostly men in their 50s to 70s, predominantly on the upper and lower extremities.
Men are affected by this tumor 4 times more frequently than women. The age range is wide, withe the peak age at diagnosis being in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
