Objective:

To detail the diagnosis and management of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) in a 2-month-old infant with an intracranial lesion, emphasizing its rarity and clinical challenges.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• Intracranial AFH is exceedingly rare in infants, with limited documented cases.
• Complete surgical resection is the gold-standard management, though outcomes may vary based on surgical experience.
• Histopathological diagnosis requires immunohistochemistry and molecular genetic testing to confirm AFH.

Interpretation:

The case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing intracranial AFH in very young infants.

Limitations:

• Limited experience in treating very young infants with intracranial tumors may affect treatment outcomes.
• Need for meticulous intraoperative hemostasis and collaboration with pathologists to ensure accurate diagnosis and management.

Conclusion:

Intracranial AFH in infants necessitates careful diagnosis and management strategies, underscoring the importance of early intervention and multidisciplinary collaboration.
