Abstract

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare tumor of soft tissue with low-grade malignancy that occurs most commonly in the soft tissues of the extremities or trunk. We present a case of AFH of the mediastinum, which is a very unusual site for this tumor. The patient has survived with no recurrence of the disease for 60 months after surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy.
