Aneurysmal Fibrous Histiocytoma (AFH) is a distinct and a rare clinicopathological variant of Cutaneous Fibrous Histiocytoma (CFH). It differs from the usual benign fibrous histiocytoma clinically and morphologically with high rate of recurrence. Here, we report a case of AFH with history of recurrence which presented as a polypoid swelling and showed vascular spaces with no endothelial lining which was proved negative by CD34 immunostaining. The spaces were bordered by tumour cells.
动脉瘤样纤维组织细胞瘤（AFH）是皮肤纤维组织细胞瘤（CFH）一种独特且罕见的临床病理变异型。它在临床和形态学上与常见的良性纤维组织细胞瘤不同，复发率高。在此，我们报告一例有复发史的AFH病例，其表现为息肉样肿物，可见无内皮衬里的血管腔隙，CD34免疫染色证实为阴性。这些腔隙由肿瘤细胞包绕。
