Abstract
Atypical fibroxanthoma is an uncommon neoplasm generally found in elderly patients on sun - exposed areas. Both clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of this fibroblastic process should be assessed in order to be able to diagnose and differentiate it from a number of malignant entities such as carcinoma, melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The majority of cases of atypical fibroxanthoma are benign, and metastasis is a rare phenomenon. In this report a 75 year old male patient complaining of a parietally located, painless, mildly hemorrhagic, hard nodular lesion for 1,5 month diagnosed as atypical fibroxanthoma is presented with its clinical and histopathological findings. There was no metastatic lesion, lymphovascular and deep invasion areas microscopically. In the discussion part, the diagnosis was compared with some other entities in histopathological and immunohistochemical manner with regard to differential diagnosis. Lastly the adequacy of the chosen surgical method for the case is discussed and commented.
