Key Clinical Message Dermatofibroma (DF; Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma) seldom presents on the face. We present an unusual case presentation of translucent nodule on the upper right cheek of the face which was diagnosed clinically as basal cell carcinoma. Physician should include DF in the differential of such lesions.
