ABSTRACT

Atypical fibroxanthoma is often considered a skin cancer of the elderly. Typically it appears on the head and neck of older individuals with prolonged sun exposure. Ionising radiation is also considered another risk factor. There is a rare body presentation of these lesions on underexposed skin of the younger individual. The presentation can be mistaken for a benign lesion. This case presentation is that of a 35-year-old pregnant woman, who presented to clinic for obstetrical care. A rare atypical fibroxanthoma was discovered during the routine exam.
