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.
血管肌纤维母细胞瘤(AFH)是一种罕见的位于体表的肿瘤,主要发生于儿童和青年。其生长缓慢,最常发生于四肢。由于病变罕见且位置表浅,更容易进行活检,因此有关 AFH 的细胞学发现的文献很少。在此,我们报告了 1 例 7 岁女孩左上肢肿胀的病例。讨论了该肿瘤的细胞学表现,并结合组织病理学相关性和文献复习。
