	Introduction: SCPFT is a rare, low-grade mesenchymal neoplasm first described by Carter et al. in 2014. Clinically, it presents as a slow-growing, painless, well-circumscribed mass in superficial soft tissue over lower extremities and trunk of adults. It is characterized by spindle to epithelioid cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm, mild nuclear atypia, and rare mitotic activity. The tumor shows diffuse and characteristic strong CD34, while being negative for S100, Desmin, and smooth muscle actin (SMA). Cytologi cal descriptions of SCPFT are scarce in the literature, posing a diagnostic challenge on fine-needle aspiration. Aim/Objective: To describe the cytomorphological features of a rare case of Superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCP FT) and emphasize its diagnostic considerations on fine needle aspiration cytology. Case Report: A 16-year-old girl presented with a slow-growing, painless swelling over the posterior aspect of the right arm for two years. Clinical examination revealed a mobile, well-circumscribed mass measuring 3 cm x 3 cm. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed, followed by histopathological examination and immunohistochemical analysis for confirmation. Results: Cytology smears were moderately cellular, showing loose cohesive clusters and scattered singly dispersed spindle to epithelioid cells. The tumor cells exhibited moderate to abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, occasional vacuolation, vesicular nuclei, and prominent nucleoli. Focal nuclear pleomorphism was observed, with occasional bizarre and multinucleated cells, but no mitotic figures. The background showed a mixed inflammatory infiltrate. Differential diagnoses considered were solitary reticulohistiocytoma, atypical fibrous histiocytoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, and atypical fibroxanthoma. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of Superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor. Conclusion: Superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor is a rare, low-grade neoplasm of mesenchymal neoplasm with overlap ping cytological features. Recognition of its characteristic cytomorphology, along with histopathology and immunohistochemistry, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate patient management.&#13;
