Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atypical fibroxanthomas (AFXs) and pleomorphic dermal sarcomas (PDSs) are UV-induced pleomorphic skin tumors with a non-specific immunoprofile. For that reason, exclusion of other dedifferentiated tumor entities by immunohistochemistry is still mandatory to avoid misdiagnosis. METHODS: We determined the expression frequency of several melanocytic and myofibroblastic markers investigating 50 AFXs and...
