Tumors of uncertain differentiation may be differentiated into (1) benign (intramuscular myxoma [including cellular variant], juxta-articular myxoma, deep [“aggressive”] angiomyxoma, pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor, and ectopic hamartomatous thymoma), (2) intermediate (rarely metastasizing) (angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma, ossifying fibromyxoid tumor [including atypical and malignant], and mixed tumor [myoepithelioma and parachordoma]), and (3) malignant (synovial sarcoma, epithelioid sarcoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue, extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma [“chordoid” type], primitive neuroectodermal tumor [PNET]/extraskeletal Ewing tumor, desmoplastic small round cell tumor, extra-renal rhabdoid tumor, malignant mesenchymoma, neoplasms with perivascular epithelioid cell differentiation [PEComa], clear cell myomelanocytic tumor, and intimal sarcoma) [1].

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare tumour primarily occurring in the extremities of children and young adults. The lesion was first recognized as a distinct pathological entity by Enzinger in 1979.1 Fewer than five cases of primary intracranial presentation have been described in the literature.2–5 We report an additional case of AFH in a young woman and review the available literature on AFH.
