Abstract:
An immunohistochemical and electron microscopic study of an atypical fibroxanthoma of the skin (AFX) was reported. The lesion developed on the left scapulararea in a 70-year-old man. The result using antibody to S-100 protein was negative and the tumor cells observed with electron microscope were undifferentiated, fibroblast-like, histiocyte-like and multinucleated giant cells. But Langerhans-like cells or Langerhans were not found.
