Although dermatofibroma is one of the most common soft tissue tumors, it is rarely seen in the face. Perforating dermatosis is characterized by papulonodules measuring 1-10 cm, with a central cup-shaped epidermal depression filled with a keratotic plug.

Total excisional biopsy was performed, which showed dermatofibroma accompanied by perforating dermatosis. No recurrence was detected during her follow-up. Our literature search did not yield any reported case of dermatofibroma accompanied by perforating dermatosis.
