Keloidal cutaneous fibrohistiocytic tumor: a clinical analysis / 中华医学美学美容杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical and pathological features and immunophenotyping of keloidal cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma (FH) and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The clinical data were colleceted from March 2015 to March 2019 and retrospectively analyzed, including 12 cases of FH, 5 males and 7 females, aged 14-76 years, with average age (37.67±17.71) years and 9 cases of DFSP, 5 males and 4 females, aged 19-64 years, with average age (42.56±13.82) years. The clinical manifestations, histopathological features and immunophenotyping of FH and DFSP were compared.Results:The clinical manifestations of all cases were keloid-like lesions. All patients underwent surgical treatment. 12 cases of FH were diagnosed in the postoperation routine pathological examination and immunohistochemical staining, CD68 was positive in 10 cases, 9 cases of SMA were positive and all of S-100 were negative. 9 cases of DFSP were diagnosed and 2 cases were fibrosarcomatous DFSP among them. For the 7 cases of DFSP, CD34 were all positive, 5 cases of CD68 were negative, 6 cases of SMA were negative. For 2 cases of fibrosarcomatous DFSP, CD34, CD68 and SMA were all negative. During the follow-up period from 6 months to 4 years, there was no recurrence of FH cases, and 3 cases of DFSP recurred, 2 cases were fibrosarcomatous DFSP among them, and 1 case of fibrosarcomatous DFSP presented distant metastasis.Conclusions:The clinical manifestations and pathological features of some FH and DFSP are similar to keloids in a certain extent, and there is a little difficulty for clinical differential diagnosis. Early diagnosis and standardized treatment are crucial for prognosis.
