Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a rare fibrohistiocytic tumor.
  • AFX typically presents on actinically damaged skin, often in sun-exposed head and neck areas of elderly patients.
  • Distinguishing AFX from other soft tissue sarcomas can be challenging.

Observation:

  • This report details the first case of atypical fibroxanthoma within the otolaryngology literature.
  • The lesion presented as a nodular growth in a typical location.

Findings:

  • Atypical fibroxanthoma is a rare fibrohistiocytic neoplasm.
  • Differential diagnosis includes dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
  • Wide local excision with a 1-cm margin is the recommended treatment.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering AFX in the differential diagnosis of head and neck lesions.
  • Emphasizes the need for accurate diagnosis to guide appropriate surgical management.
  • Suggests Mohs' surgery as a viable option for cosmetically sensitive areas requiring tissue preservation.
