Although wide local excision is standard practice, patients are regularly elderly and highly comorbid and therefore, curettage may offer a suitable alternative as a same day treatment with minimal aftercare. A retrospective case series was conducted analysing the files of all patients diagnosed with histopathological AFX at a single dermatology practice in Fremantle, Western Australia between the years 2016 and 2025. Kaplan\u2013Meier analyses estimated recurrence rate with subgroup analyses comparing recurrence with gender, lesion location and lesion size. The study analysed 77 cases of AFX tumours treated with curettage and cautery. Patients had a mean age of 78.3\u2009years with male predominance in the sample population. A total of nine tumours had documented recurrence, within a median time of 6.41\u2009months, reflecting a crude recurrence rate of 11.69% and a Kaplan\u2013Meier estimated 5\u2010year recurrence rate of 16.99%. There were no disease\u2010specific deaths, and no cases developed metastases. Given the high efficacy of curettage and cautery reflected in the study, and the lacking risk of disease\u2010specific deaths and metastasis, a valuable treatment option is proposed. Employing curettage and cautery for AFX may reduce the personal and economic burden of cumbersome interventions, mitigating hospital admission and extensive wound care. Curettage and cautery may be of particular benefit in the nursing home population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ajd.70038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,9]],"date-time":"2026-01-09T07:51:11Z","timestamp":1767945071000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Retrospective Analysis of the Recurrence of Atypical Fibroxanthoma When Treated With Curettage and Cautery at a Single Centre"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"67","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-8995-4908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nehel Binte\u2010Mehdi","family":"Syed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Curtin Medical School, Curtin University  Perth Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8594-243X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kurt","family":"Gebauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fremantle Dermatology  Perth Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ddg.14700"},{"issue":"11","key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"5717","article-title":"Atypical Fibroxanthoma \u2010 Histological Diagnosis, Immunohistochemical Markers and Concepts of Therapy","volume":"35","author":"Koch M.","year":"2015","journal-title":"Anticancer Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.abd.2020.10.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","volume-title":"Health System Expenditure on Cancer and Other Neoplasms in Australia, 2015\u201316","author":"Australian Institute of Health and Welfare","year":"2021"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00403-021-02296-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365\u20104632.2011.04969.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1203475419871048"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.31128\/AJGP-10-20-5695"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","volume-title":"IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows.
