Silent Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Chest Wall

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma is a peculiar borderline neoplasm with indolent behavior, predominantly arising in the superficial area of extremities. We encountered a unique case of asymptomatic angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma presenting on the chest wall and being adjacent to the parietal pleura, expanding the spectrum of anatomic sites in which angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma would occur.
