Résumé
Hemosiderotic fibrohistiocytic lipomatous tumour, also called hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous lesion, is a rare soft tissue patology. Histologically is composed of three basic elements, mature adipocytes, spindle cells and hemosiderin pigment. It usually occurs as a subcutaneous tumor of slow growth. It mainly affects middle-aged women. The most common site is the lower extremity (foot and ankle). Involvement of the upper limb is exceptional. The treatment of choice is surgical removal. It requires close monitoring because of its great capacity for local recurrence. We report the case of a male patient aged 62, suffering from this disease located on the left forearm. We review the literature regarding the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, histology, immunohistochemistry, cytogenetic and differential diagnosis, paying special attention to its relation with early pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumour and myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma.
