Wentzell S, Faraji H. A rare collision of atypical fibroxanthoma and basal cell carcinoma. J Case Rep Images Pathol 2018;4:100022Z11SW2018.ABSTRACT
We present a unique case of an 83-year-old male who presented with a skin lesion of the ear. Microscopic diagnosis was that of a collision lesion involving atypical fibroxanthoma and basal cell carcinoma. This is a very rare pathological diagnosis and should be considered by pathologists when diagnosing challenging skin lesions.
Keywords: Atypical fibroxanthoma, Basal cell carcinoma, Collision lesion
