English abstract
Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of low malignant
potential often misdiagnosed clinically. It typically occurs in the superficial soft tissues of
the extremities in children and young adults. It is characterized by recurrences and rarely
metastases. Surgery remains the mainstay of management. Here, we present a rare case
report of AFH in a 65-year-old male diagnosed using fine needle aspiration as spindle
cell sarcoma. The patient underwent wide local excision. The patient is under follow-up.
There is no evidence of metastases, and the patient is disease free three-years post-excision.
