An extremely rare case of atypical fibroxanthoma – case report

The first clinical case of atypical fibroxanthoma was documented in 1958, and to date, approximately 3,000 patients have been described in the literature with this diagnosis. Furthermore, the recurrence rate or potential for metastasis in atypical fibroxanthoma is estimated to be as low as 2%. It is noteworthy that fibroxanthoma most commonly arises in the head and neck region. Therefore, the clinical case presented here of a patient diagnosed with atypical fibroxanthoma on the left earlobe margin, with suspected disease recurrence after approximately one year, is extremely rare, so we believed it is noticeable to report.
