Abstract

The article describes the case of atypical fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) on the left upper arm of a 63-year-old woman and examines its immunoreactivity in detail. The points of histological and immunohistological differentiation between AFH and other cutaneous spindle cell tumours are discussed. The contention that AFH is a variant of dermatofibroma (DF) was also concluded.
