AB A  25-year-old  woman  reports  a  firm  nodule  on  her  leg  that  gets  in  the  way  of  shaving  her  leg  (Figure  160-1).  Upon  questioning,  the  nodule  may  have  started  there  after  she  cut  her  leg  shaving  1  year  ago.  She  is  worried  it  could  be  a  cancer  and  wants  it  removed.  Close  observation  showed  a  brown  halo  and  a  firm  nodule  that  dimpled  down  when  pinched.  A  diagnosis  of  a  dermatofibroma  (DF)  was  made  and  the  choices  for  treatment  were  discussed.
