Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Chest Wall Protruding into the Thoracic Cavity Mimicking Metastasis in a Patient with Breast Cancer.

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare soft tissue tumor of intermediate malignancy and uncertain differentiation. To date, only four patients diagnosed with AFH located in the chest wall have been described. Herein, we describe a 44-year-old woman diagnosed with breast infiltrating lobular carcinoma. During the imaging study with positron emission tomography-computerized tomography scan, a 4 cm solid lesion located in the chest wall was identified. Fine-needle aspiration followed by surgical excision with intraoperative frozen section study was performed. The combined histomorphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular findings confirmed the diagnosis of AFH. In this report, we describe, to the best of our knowledge, the first patient with synchronous AFH and breast cancer.
