COMMENT: | |||
The diagnosis of atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is favoured. The main differential | |||
diagnosis is pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma. | |||
The extent of the lesion cannot be determined, as it is present at the deep margin. | |||
This lesion should be re-excised, as it could represent an aggressive malignancy. | |||
