Abstract
Superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCD34PFBT) is a recently recognized neoplasm of mesenchymal origin. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature so far. Microscopically, it consists of a dermal spindle cell neoplasm, with low mitotic activity, arranged in a fascicular pattern. The individual neoplastic cells show marked nuclear atypia, nuclear pseudo-inclusions, and dense eosinophilic cytoplasm. The tumor cells characteristically show positivity for CD34 immunohistochemical stain. This tumor behaves as a low-grade malignancy with potential to recur locally, with rare cases showing lymph node metastasis. Wide local excision and regular follow-up are the currently followed steps for management. This tumor serves as a diagnostic challenge due to its overt atypia, and it can be misdiagnosed as a sarcoma. Recognition of this entity among pathologists is important due to this reason. We hereby report four cases of this newly recognized entity.
