Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma.
Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma (MCA) is a benign fibrohistiocytic vascular tumor affecting predominantly the acral sites in elderly women. The disorder is often confused clinically and histologically with Kaposi's sarcoma. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with MCA and describe the main clinical and histopathologic features of this disorder.
