Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma is an unusual tumor, affecting primarily young adults who develop local disease with favorable prognosis. This contrasts with the aggressive natural history of malignant fibrohistiocytoma. We report case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with a tumor mass of soft tissues with an unusual deep location, thereby with non distinctive clinical features. Surgical treatment was performed.
