  • Title: Atypical fibroxanthoma: Case series of 16 patients.
    Author: Wylie J, Hampton N, Telfer MR, Clarke AM.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2010 Sep; 48(6):466-8. PubMed ID: 20129724.
    Abstract:
    Atypical fibroxanthoma is an unusual tumour of skin seen mainly in the head and neck region of elderly patients. Clinically it appears as red, ulcerated nodules, which can be difficult to differentiate from other tumours without histopathological examination. Immunohistochemical analysis also aids diagnosis. The mainstay of treatment is operation. We present a case series of 16 patients with 17 atypical fibroxanthomas over a 5-year period in a district general hospital.
