Abstract A case of a rare and recently described neoplasm of the superficial soft tissue that occurs mainly in children and young adults is described. The lesion demonstrates morphological features reminiscent of both fibrous histiocytoma and fibromatosis. Microscopically, this tumor is characterized as a multinodular or plexiform proliferation of histiocyte- and fibroblast-like cells associated with multinuclear giant cells. Because of its unpredictable biological behavior, high recurrence rate, and potential for regional lymphatic metastasis, the diagnosis of plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor raises important treatment considerations.
