Abstract
in English, German

Plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumors are rare, low-to-moderate malignant soft tissue tumors that occur primarily in children and adolescents and are located on the upper extremity. The diagnosis must be made histologically. We report on a young woman who presented a growing, painless lesion on the cubital fossa. Histopathology as well as the standard of treatment are discussed.

Der plexiforme fibrohistiozytäre Tumor ist ein seltener, niedrig bis mittelgradig maligner Weichteiltumor, welcher v. a. bei Kindern und jungen Erwachsenen an der oberen Extremität auftritt. Die Diagnose muss histologisch gestellt werden. Wir berichten über eine junge Frau, welche sich mit einer größenprogredienten, schmerzlosen Hautveränderung in der Ellenbeuge vorstellte. Diskutiert werden das histologische Bild sowie der Behandlungsstandard.

Keywords: Adolescent neoplasms; Childhood neoplasms; Histology; Soft tissue neoplasms; Tumor of the upper extremity.
