sorry, watched the case too quickly. Agree with you guys that this is myofibroblastic, first hypothesis should be Nod fasciitis as you guys remarked. I still think that I would perform ALK-1 in a case like this though, due to the sclerosing areas

Agree with nodular fasciitis but with the history of trauma, some monster cells and lipidized areas, dermatofibroma will be a differential diagnosis very difficult to exclude.

I thought this a nice example of nodular fasciitis. I did not do any stains.
