Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a rare cutaneous ulcerative lesion with a good prognosis. Diagnosis is difficult and is usually made by exclusion from pleomorphic dermal sarcoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Definitive treatment varies from Mohs micrographic surgery to wide local excision. We present a case of 76-year-old woman with AFX over the dorsum of her left hand. The tumour was excised and the resulting defect was reconstructed with a local second dorsal metacarpal artery perforator flap.
