Atypical fibroxanthoma arising within erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We describe a painful atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) arising in a setting of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp. Complete excision was curative and also was associated with resolution of pain and clearance of the erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp. We review the diagnosis and management of AFX and discuss the role of actinic damage in this process.
