{Abstract}: The case at hand involves a 25-year-old woman suffering from a gradual enlargement of a gluteal mass over a five-year period. This rare medical condition is classified as superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCPFT), an intermediate form of mesenchymal malignancy, originally identified in medical literature in 2014. Initial physical examination revealed a 10 x 10 cm lump in the right upper gluteal region. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a well-circumscribed lesion within the right gluteus maximus muscle. The patient had the lump removed surgically. Examination under a microscope revealed tumor cells with extensive pleomorphism, high cytokeratin (CK) and CD34 positivity, and a low Ki67 index, all of which are consistent with SCPFT. Postoperatively, the patient showed marked improvement, and ongoing monitoring was initiated due to the potential for local recurrence. This case reinforces the importance of considering SCPFT in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue masses, emphasizing the role of immunohistochemical staining in reaching a correct diagnosis. Given the rarity of SCPFT, more studies are necessary to refine our understanding and treatment approaches.
