Abstract excerpt
Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) and pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS) are rare cutaneous mesenchymal tumours sharing clinical and histopathological features. Compared to AFX, PDS has an increased risk of local recurrence and metastasis. A precise diagnosis is critical to ensure proper clinical management and follow-up. AFX and PDS show a similar genetic background, but also a heterogeneous pattern of different...
