El diagnóstico es a través de la biopsia. El examen histopatológico confirma el diagnóstico al mostrar hallazgos como queratinocitos atípicos que se infiltran en la dermis.
            • Dermatofibroma: un crecimiento mesenquimatoso común de la piel donde los fibroblastos de la piel son los constituyentes principales: el dermatofibroma generalmente se presenta como un nódulo móvil, firme e indurado que mide alrededor de 0,5 a 1 cm. Tras la compresión lateral, aparece una depresión similar a un hoyuelo en la piel suprayacente (signo del “ojal”).

            • Afecciones inflamatorias de la piel: la psoriasis Psoriasis Psoriasis is a common T-cell-mediated inflammatory skin condition. The etiology is unknown, but is thought to be due to genetic inheritance and environmental triggers. There are 4 major subtypes, with the most common form being chronic plaque psoriasis. Psoriasis y el eccema pueden presentarse con pápulas y placas eritematosas y clínicamente parecer un carcinoma basocelular superficial. El diagnóstico se realiza con un examen físico completo, dermatoscopia y biopsia.
