The morphology across skin types can be flat or nodular and exophytic. Dermatofibroma sarcoma protuberans is a tissue sarcoma that tends to present as keloidal-appearing nodules coalescing into plaques. For both conditions, in lighter skin, it is often pink to skin colored, while in darker skin, it can be violaceous to pink-brown or gray-brown. ++ +++ DERMATOFIBROMA ++ FIGURE 27-1.

Typically on palpation, these neoplasms have underlying nodularity and a positive dimple sign. Note the flat presentation, which is in contrast to the dome-shaped morphology that can also occur.
