After a excisional biopsy histopathologic results showed sheets of histiocytes with emperipolesis admixed in a mixture of inflammatuary cells including plasma cells and lymphocytes. Additionally, we observed pseudovascular spaces and asteroid bodies in large histiocytes. After surgery the patient has been followed up for 1 year postoperatively, without any sign of reccurence.
