Abstract
- Benign fibrous histiocytoma is a common benign fibrohistiocytic tumor that's usually confined to the dermis. A 20-year-old female presented with a skin-colored, hard subcutaneous nodule of 1 cm diameter on her right flank. The histopathologic findings showed a well circumscribed, purely subcutaneous nodule composed of a fibrohistiocytic proliferation, and this was consistent with subcutaneous benign fibrous histiocytoma. We report here on a rare variant of benign fibrous histiocytoma that was confined to the subcutaneous layer without any epidermal and dermal changes.
