===General===
{{Main|Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma}}
*Rarely metastasizes.
*Children & young adults.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP624-5>{{Ref WMSP|624-5}}</ref>
*Cystic spaces with blood - simulates a vascular neoplasm.<ref name=pmid228836>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Enzinger | first1 = FM. | title = Angiomatoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma: a distinct fibrohistiocytic tumor of children and young adults simulating a vascular neoplasm. | journal = Cancer | volume = 44 | issue = 6 | pages = 2147-57 | month = Dec | year = 1979 | doi =  | PMID = 228836 }}</ref>
*Epithelioid to spindle cells.
**May have a histiocytic appearance.<ref>URL: [http://dermatology.cdlib.org/1605/1_case_reports/4_09-00041/patrizi.html http://dermatology.cdlib.org/1605/1_case_reports/4_09-00041/patrizi.html]. Accessed on: 15 November 2011.</ref>
*Inflammation.
**Lymphoid cuff<ref name=pmid20154033/> - lymphocytes around periphery of lesion.
*Hemorrhage.
 
Note:
*The first impression may be that it is [[granuloma|granulomatous inflammation]]; however, the cytoplasm doesn't fit (it isn't bubbly and it isn't sheet-like), and the nuclei aren't quite right (few footprint shaped nuclei).
