Resumen

MARINHO, Carla; SILVA, Roberto; COSTA, Fernanda  y  LOPES, José Manuel. Atypical fibrous histiocytoma of the  vulva: report of a rare entity. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.2, pp.148-151. ISSN 1646-5830.

Atypical fibrous histiocytoma is a rare and poorly documented variant of cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma.The vulvar localization is rare. Its clinical behaviour is generally benign; however, it presents histological features associated with malignancy. The pathological differential diagnoses include benign and malignant skin tumors; namely, atypical fibroxanthoma, cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma, cutaneous leiomyosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, malignant melanoma, and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. We report a new case of atypical vulvar fibrous histiocytoma in a young woman whose diagnosis was based on morphological and immunohistochemical features of the tumor. According our knowledge this is the second documented case of atypical fibrous histiocytoma of the vulva.
