Abstract

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that typically affects the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It is often painless and with slow growth. We present a case of a 57-year-old female patient with an unusual lesion diagnosed as AFH, located in the abdominal wall, manifested clinically with bleeding. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with an excision of the mass (apparently preperitoneal) and hepatic subsegmentectomy II, for histological exam. This case is noteworthy due to its uncommon location and clinical presentation.
