Abstract
Atypical fibroxanthoma is a rare fibrohistiocytic tumour with intermediate malignancy that generally affects photoexposed areas of the elderly. The diagnosis is anatomopathological and the management is surgical.
We report the case of a spontaneous regression of an atypical fibroxanthoma of the hand. This phenomenon is a very rare situation related to a probable immunological response.
Keywords: Atypical fibroxanthoma, biopsy, regression
