note

contrary to what is written in this article, several sources I have come across have emphasized the fact that dermatofibromas never develop into basal cell carcinoma.

Hahahahahahahahaha.. this is AWESOME!!! I'm doing a report in A&P on this and its not giving me much info. any one wanna help i'd appreciate it.

Title

Why is the article title a term that is never used in the rest of the article, instead of "dermatofibroma," which is used throughout the article and in cited sources? I have no experience with medical articles, so I wonder if there is some specific convention that applies here to explain this apparently strange choice for the title. Anecdotally, my dermatologist exclusively used this term, and didn't even say something like, "Even though I use the term dermatofibroma, you should be aware that xxxxxxxxx is the term you'll find elsewhere." Thank you. Holy (talk) 16:24, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
