abstract={Cutaneous Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) typically occurs on the head and neck of sun-damaged areas in older Caucasians & it¡¯s a diagnosis by exclusion of other malignant neoplasms with similar histopathology or morphology. In this case report and literature review, we report a much less common presentation as the first case to our knowledge of AFX on a teenage female with darker skin, this lesion on the dominant hand that needed re-excision in order to get a clear margin. A high index of suspicion of this less common type in a younger patient presenting with a cutaneous nodule is to be kept in mind to minimize the number of excisions and increase patient¡¯s satisfaction.},
