Fibrous histiocytomas are mesenchymal tumors that can be benign or malignant. A cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma is a benign soft tissue tumour that can present as an indurated nodule anywhere in the human body. It is also known as dermatofibroma. A cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma usually presents as a small solitary firm papule or a nodule, seldom larger than 1 cm in diameter. We present here an atypical cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma presenting as a large keloid on the dorsum of hand in a 41-year-old female patient.
