Abstract

Benign fibrous histiocytoma(BFH) is a rare clinical possibility considered in a post insect bite tender soft tissue swelling.

We report a case of BFH due to its rarity of age, location and association with insect bite which was diagnosed with FNAC and confirmed with histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

The child is disease free for 3 years after surgical excision of swelling. Message: Though rare, neoplastic lesions can arise in sites of insect bite and trauma.
