https://doi.org/10.17650/2311-1267-2018-5-1-87-94

Abstract

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is an extremely rare soft tissue tumor in children characterized by intermediate biological behavior. This article describes a case of AFH of soft tissue of the lumbar region in 10-year-old child. The literature review describes the state-of-the-art data on epidemiology, molecular genetics, diagnostics and treatment of AFH in children.
