【 摘 要 】

Dendritic myxofibrolipoma is a newly described benign soft tissue tumor that could be easily mistaken for sarcoma. It develops primarily in the subcutis or muscular fascia of the head and neck, shoulders, etc. Histologically, the tumor is characterized by an admixture of mature adipose tissue, spindle and stellate cells, and abundant myxoid stroma with prominent collagenization. These neoplasms typically show positive immunoreactivity for CD-34, vimentin and Bcl-2. Herein, we described a rare case presenting with a papule on the nasal tip in a 69-year old patient. Histopathology and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis. In short, it brings the attention of clinicians to the importance of proper identification and characterization of this tumor.
