Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a rare skin neoplasm.
  • Distinguishing AFX from malignant melanoma or cutaneous metastasis can be challenging.

Observation:

  • An 84-year-old female presented with a skin lesion suspicious for malignancy.
  • Initial differential diagnoses included malignant melanoma and metastatic carcinoma.

Findings:

  • Immunohistological analysis revealed a strong vimentin-positive, S-100 protein-negative, and cytokeratin-negative tumor.
  • These findings were crucial for the final diagnosis of atypical fibroxanthoma.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of AFX is essential for appropriate patient management.
  • Immunohistochemistry plays a vital role in differentiating cutaneous neoplasms.
