Context: Treatment of So-Called Fibrohistiocytic Tumors / Plexiform Fibrohistiocytic Tumor

The tumor commonly arises as a painless mass in the skin or subcutaneous tissue and most often involves the upper extremities, including the fingers, hand, and wrist.[3-5] Plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor is an intermediate-grade tumor that rarely metastasizes. However, there are rare reports of the tumor spreading to regional lymph nodes or the lungs.[1,5,6]
