Atypical fibroxanthoma is a skin sarcoma (a type of cancer) that tends to grow slowly.
(See also Overview of Skin Cancer.)
Atypical fibroxanthomas are uncommon but usually occur on the head and neck of older people. They may look like other skin cancers (other than melanoma) and often appear as pink-red raised areas or bumps that do not heal and may be tender.
