Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare tumor that typically arises in the extremities or trunk, with intracranial occurrences being exceedingly rare.

A 2-month-old female infant presented with a postauricular mass, leading to the diagnosis of an intracranial AFH confirmed by imaging and histopathology.

The tumor was a 4 × 3 × 4 cm epidural mass located between the dura mater and galea aponeurotica, requiring craniotomy for complete surgical resection.
