| Summary: | Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor (PHAT) is a particular rare entity corresponding to soft tissue neoplasm with low malignant potential. The exact etiopathology responsible for the tumor occurrence is not exactly identified. Knowledge of this condition is necessary to avoid misdiagnosis of the lesion and subsequently, to adopt the proper management. Here we report a case of PHAT originating from soft tissue in the pelvic retroperitoneum. According to the litterature, few articles deal with such pathology and such location. This work illustrates features of the tumor, its characteristics, and the adequate management with the histopathological findings. |
