Cytological diagnosis of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is an unusual superficially located tumor primarily affecting children and young adults. It grows slowly and most often occurs on the extremities. There is a paucity of literature on the cytological findings of AFH owing to the rarity of the lesion and its superficial location which makes it easier to perform the biopsy. Here, we present a case of AFH in a 7‐year‐old girl who presented with a left upper arm swelling. The cytology of this tumor along with histopathologic correlation and review of literature is discussed.
