Background.
Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a tumor that commonly presents on the head or neck in older individuals.
Making a definitive diagnosis of AFX is challenging, and frequently, it is hard to distinguish from pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS).
There are no clear recommendations regarding the treatment of AFX, but an extensive surgery is actually considered the best option.
Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a novel therapeutic modality of local treatment in which the application of electrical pulses, enhancing cell membrane permeability, allows greater intracellular accumulation of chemotherapy drugs in the skin or subcutaneous tumors.
Case Report.
We report a case of a 78-year-old male affected by a red, ulcerative, dermal, scalp nodule, which was treated with ECT with a complete clinical response.
We have also reported literature data on this topic.
Results.
In this case, ECT showed to be an effective and safe treatment for recurrent neoplasms of the head and neck, considering the complete response obtained and the absence of disease relapse after two years.
Conclusion.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report that shows great clinical results using ECT after surgery in relapsed AFX/PDS.
However, more studies are needed to confirm our results.
