Summary
We report a case of an 83-year- old previously healthy female patient presenting with a swiftly evolving erythematous violaceous, infiltrative, ulcerated onion-like mass with hyperkeratotic surface on the left ear lobe. The lesion was excised and resulted as an atypical fibroxanthoma, an extremely rare neoplastic growth, being a superficial variant of pleomorphic malignant fibrous histiocytoma. A brief review of diagnosis, treatment and prognosis is discussed.
