title: [Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma: rare tumor of intermediate malignancy].
abstract: Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma is a rare tumour affecting young adults. Unlike conventional malignant fibrous histiocytoma, its extension is only local thus giving a good prognosis. We report the cases of a 9 year-old girl and a 16 year-old boy presenting respectively, with an axillary tumour 5 cm of diameter and a paravertebral subcutaneous tumour 1.5 cm of diameter. In both cases, the diagnosis was not initially suspected. The treatment consisted in surgical resection.
