Fibrosis ( Figure 1

recommendation:
Whenever it is the sole lesion, fibrosis should be diagnosed and graded. Fibrosis as a minor component of another primary process such as inflammation, ulceration, or neoplasia should generally not be diagnosed separately unless it is a prominent feature of the lesion.references:
