SKIN LESION, MID BACK, SHAVE BIOPSY:
- ATYPICAL SPINDLE CELL NEOPLASM, SEE MICRO AND COMMENT.
 
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.
