AB  - Background Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare soft-tissue tumor with intermediate malignant potential. It most commonly occurs in children and young adults.Case Report We report a case of a recurrent AFH of the back, locally recurring within 14 months of the original operation. We also review the literature for this uncommon entity. The patient underwent a wide resection of the recurrent AFH, obtaining negative surgical margins. Postoperatively, he has done well.Conclusion Twelve months since his re-excision, the patient shows no evidence of recurrence to date. He is seen every 6 months for continued clinical examinations.
