Abstract
Cutaneous myxoid fibroblastoma is an extremely rare soft tissue tumor, diagnosed based on histopathology. The histopathological triad for the diagnosis of the disease includes 1) spindle-shaped and/or stellate cells with elongated nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm 2) distribution of cell in amyxoid stroma containing very fewcollagen fibers 3) cellular atypiawithout marked nuclear polymorphism in some cells. To date, only single cases of this disease have been reported. We report a new case and discuss the disease.Entities:
