    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Atypical fibroxanthoma is a rare histiocytoid neoplasm.
    • This tumor predominantly affects elderly patients.
    • It typically arises on sun-exposed skin areas.

    Purpose:

    • To present a case of atypical fibroxanthoma.
    • To highlight the clinical and pathological features of this rare tumor.
    • To discuss the recurrence and metastasis rates.

    Summary:

    • A case of atypical fibroxanthoma, a histiocytoid tumor, is described.
    • The tumor commonly occurs in elderly individuals on light-exposed skin.
    • Recurrence rates are approximately 10%, with lymph node metastasis observed in only 1% of cases.

    Impact:

    • This case contributes to the understanding of atypical fibroxanthoma.
    • It emphasizes the importance of considering this diagnosis in elderly patients with skin lesions.
    • The data on recurrence and metastasis aid in patient counseling and management strategies.
