Popis:	Benign fibrous histiocytoma or dermatofibroma is on e of the most common types of benign, cutaneous, so ft tissue tumors, most often found in the middle-aged adults. The diagnosis of dermatofibroma/benign fibrous his tiocytoma is usually straightforward if the typical morphologica l features are present. However, some diagnostic difficulties may arise when one is dealing with some unusual morphological variants. Among these variants, cellular fib rous histiocytoma (CFH) may represent a diagnostic chall enge because there is a risk of it being confused w ith other benign or malignant dermal tumours. Careful histopathological examination with the clear knowledge of this variant is important to avoid a misdiagnosis of a possibly more aggressive tumor. We are hereby briefly highli ghting the intriguing nature of cellular benign fibrous histio cytoma with which we have encountered.
