Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare soft tissue tumour that occurs in the superficial tissue of extremities of children and young adults. A painless mass in the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue is the main clinical manifestation. AFH also occurs infrequently in the central nervous system and is relatively common in the cranium. However, spinal canal AFH has not been described yet. We report a rare case of AFH in the cervical canal of a 20-year-old male patient. Microsurgical gross total resection of the tumour was performed, and the diagnosis was confirmed by postoperative pathology. To our knowledge, this is the first case of AFH in the spinal canal.
血管外皮细胞瘤样纤维组织细胞瘤(AFH)是一种罕见的软组织肿瘤,发生于儿童和青年四肢的浅组织中。主要临床表现为深部真皮和皮下组织无痛性肿块。AFH 在中枢神经系统中也不常见,在颅部较为常见。然而,椎管内 AFH 尚未被描述。我们报告了一例 20 岁男性患者的罕见颈椎管内 AFH 病例。通过显微镜下大体全切除肿瘤,术后病理证实诊断。据我们所知,这是首例椎管内 AFH 病例。
