Abstract

Abstract- Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor (PHAT) is a rare, slow-growing mass, which is locally aggressive and classified as tumors of borderline malignancy. In this study, we report a case of subcutaneous ankle mass in 43-year-old female since 2 years ago with a pathological diagnosis of PHAT, characterized by clusters of ectatic, fibrin-lined, and thin-walled vessels which are surrounded by a spindled or pleomorphic neoplastic stroma.
