Scrotal Dermatofibroma in Children: A Case Study

Dermatofibroma (DF) are common benign lesions located in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue with well-defined borders, less than one centimeter, and generally seen in adults. It is extremely rare in children. In the current literature, to our best knowledge, there is not any dermatofibroma case in the scrotum of children. Hence, this case study is the first of its kind. The aim of the manuscript is present a pediatric case with a mass on scrotal in the light of the relevant literature
