Summary • Introduction • Selected entities (update, clinical relevance, differential diagnosis) • Main Features: – Clinical – Histological – Immunohistochemical

Introduction • Spectrum: reactive to malignant (clinical relevance) • Objection of some purists • Almost any soft tissue tumor can occur in the skin (subcutaneous o subfascial) �Skin biopsy�

Atypical Fibrohistocytic Lesions

• Classic concept: DF is a benign lesion completely different from DFSP, based on histologic and clinical features • Use of immunohistochemistry • But some times the differences are not so clear…

• Intermediate between DF y DFSP • Trunk, 0.6-2 cm, recurrence • Acanthosis and hyperpigmentation • Storiform pattern Horenstein et al. Am J Surg Pathol 2000; 24: 996-1003

lipoidica) – Keratin! – Loss of INI NI1 (SWI/SNF chromatin
