Abstract:
Epithelioid cell histiocytoma (ECH), also known as epithelioid fibrous histiocytoma, is a rare variant of dermatofibroma, which can mimic melanocytic, vascular, epithelial, or other histiocytic lesions. Although the histogenesis of this condition remains unclear, a recent investigation suggested the possibility that ECH was an angioformative fibrous histiocytoma. There have been no reports of ECH in the Korean literature. Herein, we report a case of ECH in 45-year old man.
