Multiple Eruptive Dermatofibromas in a Patient With HIV Infection: A Case Report
Multiple eruptive dermatofibromas represent a rare clinical entity characterized by the sudden development of numerous dermatofibromas. We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with a long-standing HIV infection who presented with the progressive development of multiple dermatofibromas over a three-year period. Multiple eruptive dermatofibromas are frequently associated with autoimmune diseases, malignancies, immunosuppressive treatments, or HIV infection. Recognition of this presentation is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and to prompt appropriate systemic evaluation.
