Giant cell angiofibroma (GCA) was initially described as a potentially recurrent tumor in the orbit of adults. However, it is now recognized that it can also present in other locations. The morphological hallmark is a richly vascularized patternless spindle cell proliferation containing pseudovascular spaces and floret like multinucleate giant cells. Our case was a 32-years-old female complaining of painless solitary nodule arising on the occipital region of the scalp, which was diagnosed as giant cell angiofibroma. We report the case because of its extremely rare localization.
巨细胞血管纤维瘤(GCA)最初被描述为成人眼眶中一种可能复发的肿瘤。然而,现在人们认识到它也可出现在其他部位。其形态学特征是一种血管丰富的无模式梭形细胞增殖,含有假血管腔隙和花环状多核巨细胞。我们的病例是一名32岁女性,主诉头皮枕部出现无痛性孤立结节,诊断为巨细胞血管纤维瘤。由于其定位极其罕见,我们报告了该病例。
