Overview

There is no established system for the classification of [disease name].

Dermatofibroma may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups: [group1], [group2], [group3], and [group4].

[Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3]. [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].

Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.

If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features: According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].

The staging of [malignancy name] is based on the [staging system].

1. Deep penetrating dermatofibroma

2. Atrophic dermatofibroma

3. Aneurysmal fibrous histiocytoma

4. Haemangiopericytoma-like fibrous histiocytoma

5. Palisading cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma

6. Lichenoid, erosive, & ulcerated dermatofibroma

7. Plaque-like dermal fibromatosis, dermatofibroma

Classification

Dermatofibroma may be classified according to histopathology into three subtypes:

• Variants that are prominent in architectural (low-power) properties
• Variants that are prominent in cytologic or stromal (high-power) properties
• Variants that have architectural (low) and cytological or stromal (high-power) properties
