Abstract:
Fibrous histiocytoma are complex group of tumors that feature cells resembling fibroblasts and histiocytes.In a case of fibrous histiocytoma involving the cornea and corneolimbus, we evaluated the finding of H-E, Masson-trichrome, reticulin, CD68, alpha-1-antitrypsin antibody and smooth muscle actin antibody stain after the localized excision in 26 years old male patient. In H-E stain, tumor cell included many multinucleated giant cells having abundant eosinophilic and foamy cytoplasm infiltreated by numerous lymphocyte, CD68 & alpha-1-antit-rypsin antibody staining resulted in diffuusely positive finding. Therefore examination. Good result was noted after complete excision at 6 month follow-up.
