at rarely exceeded 3 cm in greatest diameter. ? Histologically, lesions were characterized by a multinodular or plexiform proliferation of histiocyte and fibroblastlike cells associated with multinucleate giant cells, morphologic features reminiscent of both a fibrous histiocytoma and a fibromatosis. The differential diagnosis includes: ? 1. Cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma ? 2. Plexiform neurofibroma, ? 3. Fibromatosis, ? 4. Benign and malignant giant cell tumors Prognosis ? Twenty of their 32 cases (Good: %) with followup information were alive and well after local excision, but the tumor recurred in 12 cases (Recurred: %). In two patients with recurrence, the disease (Metastasized: 6%) metastasized to regional lymph nodes 9 and 36 months after the initial excision, respectively. Enzinger and Zhang’s original findings have been confirmed in subsequent papers. Treatment ? Plexiform fibrohist
