Unique ID: D018219
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018219
Annotation: benign only; malignant = HISTIOCYTOMA, MALIGNANT FIBROUS; coordinate IM with precoordinated organ/neoplasm term (IM)
Scope Note: A benign tumor composed, wholly or in part, of cells with the morphologic characteristics of HISTIOCYTES and with various fibroblastic components. Fibrous histiocytomas can occur anywhere in the body. When they occur in the skin, they are called dermatofibromas or sclerosing hemangiomas.
