Key result
Ultrasound of atypical neck fibrous histiocytoma presents diagnostic challenges requiring careful differential diagnosis.
Why the study?
Atypical fibrous histiocytoma is an uncommon tumor in the neck, with limited reports describing its ultrasound characteristics.
This case report details the ultrasound findings of a rare atypical fibrous histiocytoma in the neck to assist in differential diagnosis.
Consider AFH in neck mass ultrasound differentials; leaves open specific features and extends limited existing reports.
Atypical fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is an uncommon tumor in the neck, and there are limited reports on its ultrasound characteristics. We present a case report of an atypical fibrous histiocytoma in the neck of a 38-year-old woman, emphasizing the diagnostic challenges and differential diagnoses that should be considered when evaluating neck masses using ultrasound.
